Interestingly, the specific organizational capabilities necessary to develop
an effective voice for the creation of sustainable interprofessional global
health governance and infrastructure at the university level are similar to the
competencies required of individuals who develop civil society organizations, social
movements, and non-governmental organizations that play such important roles in
global health internationally. The organizational learning process at UMSON
occurred concurrently with that in the larger university. This led to a process
of cross-fertilization, where the successful implementation of organizational
innovations at one level provided the context for change at another level.
