What is the purpose of the Relationship Management Matrix?

The Relationship Management Matrix is a 2x2 matrix used to categorize relationships between two entities. It is used to identify and prioritize relationships, and to determine how resources should be allocated to each relationship. The matrix is divided into four quadrants, each representing a different type of relationship. The four quadrants are:

  • High Value/High Investment
  • High Value/Low Investment
  • Low Value/High Investment
  • Low Value/Low Investment

The High Value/High Investment quadrant represents relationships that are both valuable and require a high level of investment. These relationships should be given the highest priority and the most resources. Examples of relationships in this quadrant include high-value customers and strategic partners.

The High Value/Low Investment quadrant represents relationships that are valuable, but require a low level of investment. These relationships should be given a medium priority and moderate resources. Examples of relationships in this quadrant include low-value customers and potential partners.

The Low Value/High Investment quadrant represents relationships that are not valuable, but require a high level of investment. These relationships should be given a low priority and minimal resources. Examples of relationships in this quadrant include low-value customers and potential partners.

The Low Value/Low Investment quadrant represents relationships that are not valuable and require a low level of investment. These relationships should be given the lowest priority and the least resources. Examples of relationships in this quadrant include low-value customers and potential partners.
