Overview
Stakeholder Management
Stakeholder Management is a trade name of Mosaic Project Services Pty Ltd. this aspect of our business is focused on improving your organization’s success by developing innovative and effective ways to help managers and teams: identify, prioritize, visualize, engage with, and monitor the unique stakeholder community affected by the organisation, its activities and projects.
SHM has developed:
The SRMM® maturity model to identify an organisation’s current level of Stakeholder Relationship Management Maturity. The maturity model can be implemented using any effective stakeholder management methodology. See more on the SRMM®.
The Stakeholder Circle® methodology, a 5-Step methodology designed to facilitate the effective management of a business unit’s stakeholders. The methodology can be applied at the organizational level, the business unit level, or to support a specific activity, program or project. The methodology can be employed using any appropriate tools. See more on the methodology.
The Stakeholder Circle® tool set.
We have developed three tools to assist in the implementation of the Stakeholder Circle® methodology as an organisation progresses ‘up’ the SRMM® levels.
- Stakeholder-On-A-Page (SOAP) Word template, a one page word template designed to build information on a stakeholder to facilitate effective communication and issue management.
- Stakeholder WorkSheet (SWS) Excel Template, a spreadsheet designed to build information, prioritize and sort stakeholders into a list highlighting the ‘most important’ stakeholders at ‘this time’ in an activity’s (or project’s) lifecycle.
We are committed to delivering improvements in stakeholder management world-wide. A significant amount of information is freely available from this web site. We run training courses around the world and the methodologies can be implemented with either your own tools, customised version of our tools or our commercially available tools. See more on the Stakeholder Circle® tools.

Founder
Dr. Lynda Bourne Lynda is the CEO and founder of Stakeholder Management Pty Ltd, and the Director of Professional Services with Mosaic Project Services Pty Ltd.
She was the first student to graduate from the RMIT University, Doctor of Project Management course with a professional Doctorate in Project Management (DPM), and the first Doctor of Project Management world wide. 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. She is a recognised international speaker on the topic of stakeholder management and the Stakeholder Circle visualisation tool.
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.
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 management roles. After more than twenty years working in the profession, Lynda is now focussed on giving back to the profession through her mentoring activities and participation in the development of innovative Project Management methodologies and courseware.
