host of disruptive forces is
transforming the business
landscape—and Yvonne Griéve,
PMP, is ready to step into action after
attending this year’s PMO Symposium®

PM process manager at BAE Systems, a
member of the PMI Executive Council, in
Manassas, Virginia, USA. “We don’t do
that today. I’m definitely going to work
at it myself and encourage others to
think about this going forward, too.”
