PR 65 - Enabling Strategic Engagement With Business Relationship Management

Navigating The Complexities and Tiger Traps Of Service Provisioning All human relationships are complex and fraught with challenges related to bias, expectations and emotion. Perhaps one of the most challenging relationships of all to maintain in a long term positive light is the relationship of service provider and consumer. Challenging in that often both parties in this specific relationship paradigm expect to come out of the experience having gained something of value, often with one side feeling as they have come away with the better deal. However any long term relationship needs to be based on trust, integrity and mutual respect. The Business Relationship Manager plays a critical role as a connector, orchestrator and navigator in respect to finding a way to bring a win / win for both parties. Join George, Jack and Troy as they discuss the positioning, purpose and critical nature of the Business Relationship Management role, context, certification and Global Professional Association.
