About the Presentation

Today, project managers execute the alignment of people, purpose, and projects. Project managers who master business relationship management (BRM) capabilities will no longer be seen as task managers but as strategic leaders driving change. Project managers often find themselves bogged down by misaligned objectives, communication barriers, and short-term project goals that don’t align with organizational purpose. Many project managers also lack career mobility within their current roles despite a desire to move into more strategic positions. Project managers risk plateauing in their careers without a clear path to strategic leadership. Failure to align projects with broader business objectives leaves untapped potential for personal growth and organizational impact. Business relationship management offers project managers a framework for aligning people, purpose, and projects and an opportunity to pivot their careers. By mastering BRM skills, project managers can transform from execution-focused project managers into strategic value-focused project leaders or even transition to full-time business relationship manager roles pivotal in driving business value.  

Adopting BRM skills is about more than just enhancing your project leadership. It’s about becoming intentional about your career and influencing broader business outcomes. By focusing on strategic communication, value optimization, and holistic, purposeful alignment, you can open doors to new career opportunities. Whether you remain a project manager with a leadership edge or transition into a BRM role, you’ll become indispensable to your organization – a strategic partner capable of driving long-term value.
