The Model Generalized Expansion (visibility, business, membership,

reach) Service (altruism, knowledge transfer,

capacity building) Learning (recognition that you don’t have all

the answers) Partnership (NGOs, consortia, government

agencies, corporations)

Seeking and Establishing Partnerships

Identify your gaps Analyze your strengths and weaknesses Which of your goals apply in different

situations? Which of your goals apply in different

regions?

Page 8: The Buddy System Accomplishing Major Goals Through Partnerships

www.asaecenter.orgwww.asaecenter.org

Seeking and Establishing Partnerships

Identify which of your goals you want to accomplish in a specific situation or region. Limit your focus to accomplishing realistic

outcomes. Determine how you will measure success in

each case.

Page 9: The Buddy System Accomplishing Major Goals Through Partnerships

www.asaecenter.orgwww.asaecenter.org

Seeking and Establishing Partnerships

Define the kinds of organizations needed as partners What kind of organizations will help you fill

your gaps? Identify specific organizations that can help

you in specific cases.

Page 10: The Buddy System Accomplishing Major Goals Through Partnerships

www.asaecenter.orgwww.asaecenter.org

Seeking and Establishing Partnerships

Communicate with your partners about the outcomes you want to achieve through the partnership.

Recognize and acknowledge that each partner has its own goals.

Seek to achieve shared risks and benefits.

Page 11: The Buddy System Accomplishing Major Goals Through Partnerships

One Example: How ONS Applied the Model

ONS wants to help build capacity in developing regions of the Middle East

ONS wants to expand business opportunities in more developed areas of the Middle East

We need help with logistics, culture, and politics.

Expanding business opportunities in wealthier regions can subsidize more altruistic goals in other areas.

Page 12: The Buddy System Accomplishing Major Goals Through Partnerships

www.asaecenter.orgwww.asaecenter.org

One Example: How ONS Applied the Model

We partnered with a consortium group experienced in program delivery and well-connected to health ministries, universities, and funding organizations in the region.

Program content consists of: Clinical training in cancer symptoms and

management of treatment side effects. Leadership development that will help nurses

implement changes in practices within their own institutions and cultures.

Parallel Public/Private Action Plan

EU Institutions: Policy Audit in 2004 Meeting programs organised regularly Two Government Forums EU sessions in EMEA Annual Congress

EU Corporate: Creation of European Corporate Networking Group in

2005 Engage in dialogue and create partnerships with key

corporations (e.g. Siemens, SAP, HP, IBM, etc)

Page 35: The Buddy System Accomplishing Major Goals Through Partnerships

Outcomes – Building BridgesThe European Commission has:

determined project management as a key function within the organization that needs professionalization. Started CAPM training

established a working group to develop a common project management methodology for its IT services. This working group is building up a customized PM methodology on the basis of the PMBOK® Guide

The Corporate world wanted to work with the European Commission: needs to ‘de facto’ align to the European Commission’s standards

and practices

PMI brings public and private together while supporting its international growth!

mlangley
I believe that some part of the EC (informatics?) is now traninging and certifying for CAPM.
