BRM and Relationship excellence cannot be accomplished blindly. Step into the light! with our Relationship Maturity Workshop. This workshop is designed to empower organizations to optimize their partnerships and drive greater business value. Rooted in the Business Relationship Maturity Assessment, this workshop offers participants a comprehensive framework for evaluating and enhancing relationships with providers from four key perspectives.
-
Business Partner Assessing Provider: Participants dive into the dynamics of assessing provider performance through the lens of a business partner. By examining criteria such as communication effectiveness, alignment with strategic objectives, and responsiveness, participants gain insights into the maturity level of their relationships and identify opportunities for improvement.
-
Business Unit Assessing Provider: From the standpoint of a business unit, participants explore the impact of provider relationships on operational efficiency, service delivery, and overall performance. Through scenario analysis and collaborative interaction, they assess the maturity level of provider relationships and pinpoint areas for enhancement to drive greater business value.
-
Business as an Entity Assessing Provider: Participants take a holistic view of provider relationships, evaluating their alignment with overarching organizational objectives and strategies. By assessing the overall effectiveness of provider relationships in driving long-term value creation, participants identify opportunities to strengthen partnerships and position the organization for sustained success.
-
Provider Assessing Each Business Unit: This perspective flips the script, allowing participants to evaluate provider relationships from the standpoint of the provider. By examining the maturity level of relationships with individual business units, participants gain insights into areas for improvement and opportunities to enhance collaboration and mutual success.
At the core of the workshop are five maturity levels—Ad-Hoc, Order Taker, Service Provider, Trusted Advisor, and Strategic Partner—that serve as benchmarks for assessing the depth and maturity of relationships. Participants learn to identify less-than-optimal relationships targeted for improvement, while also celebrating strong relationships that serve as models for excellence.
The workshop empowers Business Relationship Managers (BRMs) with assessment results, enabling them to develop targeted improvement plans for relationships at lower maturity levels. Simultaneously, high maturity relationships are celebrated, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.
Through interactive discussions and scenario discussions, your seasoned experts in relationship management will guide participants to gain the knowledge, skills, and tools to cultivate stronger, more valuable partnerships that drive business growth and success. By embracing the principles of relationship maturity and continuous improvement, organizations emerge poised to navigate the complexities of modern business with confidence, clarity, and resilience.
This workshop is dialogic in nature and is intended to remove boundaries and roadblocks to improvement.
