Lynda was the first student to graduate from the RMIT University, Doctor of Project Management course with a professional Doctorate in Project Management (DPM). 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. This valuable tool is now being developed and marketed world-wide by 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.
