A picture that says a lot

Today Codie Sanchez made my email. You choose your hard... so please don’t complain. I’ve been in both, and I’m still deciding what to do next. I take my time, with no rush. I like what I do in the infrastructure and real estate space, but also I appreciate freedom. ​ At some moments, everyone has doubts, everyone feels overwhelmed, frustrated, angered, in despair. Some people take it for themselves, and keep in pain and frustration. Others go to talk to mentors, coaches and people that are in the same path they want to go. ​ I’m still deciding my hard, but not how I approach. Mentoring can change your life. This is why I’m offering this package for Christmas.

During procurement, it turned out that one of the “independent” advisors hired to evaluate bids had close financial ties with a consortium member. Not a minor connection. A proper stake in the game. When journalists...
Yesterday I told you about a KPI regime that seemed a horror story. Today, I bring you another that kills. Kills contract, I mean. I often tell people that vertical PPPs are not my cup of tea. Hospitals… I run away. Too complicated. Too political. Too high stakes. Take the wave of hospital PPPs in the UK during the 2000s. On paper, they looked brilliant: new facilities, modern equipment, long-term maintenance secured. But still… the KPI regime was written by bureaucrats with too much coffee...
Some PPPs die before they start.Others collapse under the weight of construction. And then there are those that rot from within — strangled by their own KPI regime. Take the Peterborough Prison PPP in the UK.On paper, it was innovative: the first privately financed prison with a focus on rehabilitation. The government loved the concept. The innocent believers in human nature wet dreamt about it. The financiers lined up.The operator thought they could make it work… if not, they would still...
