Public-Private Partnerships 3
Public-Private Partnerships Definition In general, a Public-Private Partnership is a cooperative arrangement between an organic product support provider and one or more private sector entities to perform defense-related work, utilize DoD facilities and equipment, or both. Other government organizations, such as program offices, inventory control points, and sustainment commands, may be parties to such agreements.

Characteristics of a Successful Partnership 12
Characteristics of a Successful Partnership Engaged Leadership and joint ownership to do something together that will benefit all involved, delivering results that could not be achieved by a single partner operating alone Reducing duplication of efforts Enhancing the impact and effectiveness of action through combined and more efficient use of resources Promoting innovation and efficient processes Distinguished by a strong commitment from each partner Sharing the same strategic vision Gaining mutual trust & respect Clear & constant communication Creating a culture of sharing & collaboration Established performance metrics to monitor success or the need for improvement Relationship is fundamental 13
Public-Private Partnership Relationship Management 14
P3RM In order to maximize the effectiveness of our partnerships, we have developed a strategic P3RM framework to enable strong working relationships and develop those relationships at all levels between the private partner, AFSC, and USAF Continually assess the health of the partnership Manage risks, opportunities and issues Resolve conflict emergent in any relationship Assess forward planning and workload options 15
