To help businesses effectively meet this growing need, Brightline™, a Project Management Institute (PMI) initiative, will host its second-annual Strategy@Work conference at The Pierre Hotel on October 24, 2019.

- Identify key roadblocks to cultivating a collaborative culture.
Also, during the event, Brightline is launching its new framework, Brightline Transformation Compass, to empower employees and leaders to conduct and implement transformation.
