Dr. Lynda Bourne DPM, FACS.

Dr. Lynda Bourne

Lynda is Director of Professional Services with Mosaic Project Services focusing on the delivery of project related workshops, training, mentoring and consulting services. She is also a Fellow of the Australian Computer Society (FACS) and a professional speaker.

Lynda was the first student to graduate from the RMIT University, Doctor of Project Management course with a professional Doctorate in Project Management (DPM) in 2005. For her thesis, Lynda investigated the concept that a project’s success or failure is closely aligned with perceptions of the project held by its key stakeholders; and that project teams can manage these perceptions to create success. The research resulted in a new tool, the Stakeholder Circle® that maps each stakeholder community in a unique way, allowing the project team to focus its stakeholder engagement strategies. The Stakeholder Circle also highlights key facets of the surrounding management culture and structure. Download a copy of Lynda's thesis. This valuable tool is now being developed and marketed world-wide by Stakeholder Management Pty Ltd and is the basis of the Stakeholder Relationship Management Maturity (SRMM®) model described in her book, Stakeholder Relationship Management: A Maturity Model for Organisational Implementation. Her second book, Advising Upwards: A Framework for Understanding and Engaging Senior Management Stakeholders, was published in 2011. Making Projects Work: Effective Stakeholder and Communication Management was published in 2015.

Lynda was the inaugural (2003) winner of the PMI Australian Chapters’ Project Manager of the Year award, was awarded PMI’s Robert J Yoursak tuition scholarship for the 2004/2005 academic year and the AIPM Victorian Chapter, Donal Lenihan Student Bursary in 2005. She was part of the testing team working on PMI’s initial OPM3 development and was a sub-team lead on the OPM3 2008 update project and Chair of the OPM3 ProductSuite Examination Committee from 2006 to 2008. Lynda has also contributed to a range of other PMI standards. She is a recognised international speaker and seminar leader on the topic of stakeholder management and the Stakeholder Circle® visualisation tool; see more on our workshops.

Lynda has extensive experience as a Senior Project Manager and Project Director specialising in delivery of IT and other business-related projects within the telecommunications sector. She has worked as a Senior IT Project Management Consultant with various Telcos in Australia and South East Asia (primarily in Malaysia) including senior roles with Optus and Telstra.

Lynda graduated from Deakin University, Geelong with Honours and later gained a Graduate Diploma in Computing. This led to a diverse range of assignments covering a wide-range of project related activities and project leadership roles. She is now focused on giving back to the profession through her mentoring activities and participation in the development of innovative Project Management methodologies and course ware.

Patrick is the Managing Director of Mosaic Project Services Pty Ltd, and business manager of Stakeholder Management Pty Ltd. Since 1985, he has held a number of Directorships with various project management businesses including managing Micro Planning International Pty Ltd from 1987 to 1998 [ see more on the history of MPI ]; he graduated from the Australian Institute of Company Directors course, 'The practice of directorship' in 1995.

Patrick has over fifty years experience in the Project Management industry. His career was initially focused on the planning and managing of construction, engineering and infrastructure projects. The last twenty years has seen his businesses and experience expand to include the successful delivery of project scheduling services and PMOs in a range of government, ICT and business environments [view a full list of Mosaic's clients and projects]. The third key element of Mosaic’s current business mix, project management training, has been largely developed in the last decade with Mosaic now delivering a range of training courses and seminars around the world [view a full list of Mosaic's public training courses].

In the last few years, Patrick has sought to ‘give back’ to the industry he has participated in since leaving college and has contributed to the development of the project management profession and professionalism in the building industry. In addition to his committee roles with the CIOB [ see CIOB details ], he was part of several PMI standard development teams and is currently a member of SIA's MB-012 committee focused on developing a range of Australian and International (ISO) standards for Project, Program and Portfolio Management.
