ONS International Goals Expand visibility outside the U.S. Partner with international organizations Distribute content and programming to new

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?
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.
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.
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.
www.asaecenter.orgwww.asaecenter.org
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.
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.

Measured Outcomes A program in Jordan to enhance the quality
of patient care through more efficient patient and family involvement
An cross-cultural study on the differences and similarities in caregiver strain and burden between Cyprus and other parts of the world
Integrating new pain management strategies into a Jordanian hospital
The start-up of a Palestinian pain management society for nurses

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)
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!
