Who we are
We are a community of IT Business Partners, Relationship Managers, and related professionals across the HE/FE IT community. We want to support each other by:
- Sharing knowledge and best practice about BRM as a professional activity
- Sharing collective insight into technology trends and how the sector is addressing common themes, challenges, and aspirations.
- Developing the strategic and operational value of BRM – why institutions should embrace BRM roles and practices.
- Creating networking opportunities through webinars, an active mailing list / Teams channel, and in-person events where these are of interest to the community.
- Creation of suggested templates/ frameworks/ models for use when implementing and continuously improving BRM functions in HE.
