The IT Business Partner Playbook. Unrehearsed. Unprepared. Unrestricted.

[Please forgive the sound. Due to the delayed recording, I was in a different office, with different kit (well, none actually). We're reworking the audio and will upload asap!].

Welcome to episode 1! Today I spoke to Jeremy Byrne, MBRM – a Senior IT Business Partner at Rolls-Royce and #BRMlegend in the making for over 12 years.

Jeremy shared his experiences and insights on strategic planning, benefits realization, and the importance of communication and transparency in the BRM role.

We discussed the challenges of planning and budgeting in the public sector, the ownership and management of business systems, and the impact of leadership changes on the BRM function.

Jeremy also touched on the potential of AI in the workplace, the challenges of transitioning to a strategic role in BRM, and the importance of understanding relationships and dynamics within a company during the onboarding process.

Join us for Episode 2 when we'll be speaking to Dawn Millward, Business Partner (IT & Digital) for Birmingham City University
