Lynda Bourne elected President, PMI Melbourne 

Dr. Lynda Bourne has been elected President of the PMI Melbourne Chapter for the 2010 / 2011 year. To manage the potential conflict of interest between Lynda's role as Chapter President and the commercial relationship between PMI Melbourne and Mosaic for the delivery of classroom based training in Melbourne the following changes have been implemented:
  • Within Mosaic, Lynda has resigned from the position of Director of Training (this work is now undertaken by Patrick Weaver). Lynda's new role as Director of Professional Services focuses on executive coaching, mentoring and consulting with organisations particularly focused on OPM3 maturity assessments and process improvement.  Lynda will still conduct training as an employee of Mosaic.
     
  • Within PMI Melbourne, management of the training portfolio and commercial arrangements between the Chapter and Mosaic will be managed by the Director of Professional Services (as now), reporting to the Vice President.
  Lynda's primary commercial interest remains developing her stakeholder management business and marketing the Stakeholder Circle® range of tools.
