History behind BRM

1
BRM as an IT function
BRM was born as a methodology in the management of digital transformation at the beginning of the digitalization era. Historically IT departments fulfilled mostly business support functions. This support mindset became an obstacle to the expectations of leadership IT needed to play when driving digital transformation.
The leadership of automation and digitalization required a new set of capabilities. A new role of a BRM manager is born from within the IT.
2
BRM as an IT evolution
With experience, the best practices of digital transformation management form the basis of BRM methodologies. IT services step up from one-time transformation projects to ongoing never-ending technology-based evolution of businesses and organizations. Adding and multiplying value becomes a center of BRM activity in organizations. To be successful on this path, IT functions learn:
— to understand business
— to manage relationships in business
— to present specialized IT solutions and technology opportunities
— to develop business
3
BRM as a service
Large companies surely can afford a dedicated BRM force. How can medium and small businesses source similar needs?
BRM role in SMB is usually assured by consultants and external service providers.
4
BRM as a professional
Recently, BRM approaches and practices have grown out of IT exclusivity. Many business functions realize having a dedicated relationship manager maximizes business results. HR BP roles are an excellent example. BRM manager is an entrepreneur, communicator, marketer, and technologies professional all in one.
