We currently have 2 series running on our channel - the IT Business Partner Playbook, and the Executive Leadership overview
The first is a weekly series featuring Business Relationship Managers and IT Business Partners from across the globe. Unrehearsed, unprepared, unrestricted and maybe a little unpredictable... this podcast aims to share our guests' experiences, to provide insights and ideas to our listeners. Some will be looking for inspiration, others for tips and tools, while others will be looking for some support and comfort. While the role can be hugely rewarding, it can also be extremely tough, and it's important to know that whatever you're going through as a BRM/BP, there are others out there going through it too. You're not alone, and there is a beaming light at the end of the tunnel. You might just be in the wrong tunnel... Tune in for smiles, sincerity and hopefully not too much sauce!
Our second series is AI generated. Gasp! Yes, we let the robots do the talking in this 4-part series which focuses on the concise courses we've created to guide executives through the maze of Governance, Security, Digital Transformation - and Business Relationship. Listen as Joe and Sarah discuss our Executive Leadership Series (ELS) - designed to help leadership understand and oversee effective practices, using business language and a four-stage life cycle: "Doing the right things," "Doing them the right way," "Getting them done well," and "Getting the benefits,"
Our hosts break down each stage of the life cycle, providing a cookbook-style approach that outlines how to implement the strategies, the necessary components, and what can go wrong. Throughout their discussion, they highlight our real-world examples from major organisations like GE, Pfizer, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America.
Our ELS courses were created by Gary Hardy, co-creator of the COBIT framework and include contributions from;
Carolynn Chalmers - CEO, Good Governance Academy
Frank Wander - CEO, People Productive
Jimmy Heschel - Global Head of Digital Security, Red Bull
John Thorp - Chair, ValIT development committee
Kip Fanta - Founder, Kip Fanta Group
Martin Smith - Chairman and Founder, The Security Awareness Special Interest Group

BRM – From the Desk of a CIO | The IT Business Partner Podcast (Ep. 28)
What happens when a CIO truly sees the value of Business Relationship Management?
In this episode, I’m joined by Bob Thiele, CIO of the City of Fort Wayne, and Megan Diehm, IT Business Relationship Manager, to unpack the BRM role from a CIO’s perspective. Together, they share how trust, sponsorship, and proof of value turned BRMs into one of IT’s most strategic assets.
We cover:
• Proving the Model – from project management roots to 200% process improvements
• Earning Sponsorship – building trust through ROI, cost reduction, and alignment
• Reaping the Benefits – how BRMs enabled faster decisions and stronger collaboration
• Raising the Profile – elevating BRMs from “order-takers” to trusted advisors
This is a real-world example of how CIO leadership + BRM excellence can transform IT’s role in driving strategy, innovation, and outcomes that matter.
