Launched in early 2017, the Brightline™ Initiative is a coalition, led by the Project Management Institute together with leading global organizations, dedicated to helping executives bridge the expensive and unproductive gap between strategy design and delivery. Brightline focuses its work on three key areas: Thought and Practice Leadership, Networking and Capability Building.
