About cheating


They call it “cheating”.

That bad it is.

The school system, the system paid and sustained by your taxes.

They train students to take tests on their own. If a child attempts to cooperate at test time… as I said… it is called ‘cheating.’

In the real world, business owners cooperate at test time.

Engineers cooperate at test time.

And so on…

In life, except in the critical time for your brain, school time, every day is test time.

Then, they penalize you to make mistakes.

You do a mistake; you fail the test.

You are blamed, even ridiculed.

In real life, many entrepreneurs don’t really become businesspeople until after they lose their first business.

Salespeople, the same. You must lose many sales, to become good at work.

We continue to be trained and wired as in the industrial times when we needed meat for the factories.

The damage to your brain can be permanent.

Scaping almost impossible.

I don’t know what you do, or how you want your children to be educated.

But I want my child to learn by doing, and by making mistakes.

I want him to be creator and innovator.

I’ve been in corporate life for too long to know that staying busy in your busyness and not building anything is chain your future to a blackberry.

You can also start building.

On the side, without stupid risks. With the two feet on the ground. Building a career increasing your options. Building a business without risking your life. Building your wealth without breaking a bank.

Common sense.

“We have seen that a few projects have used this process to manage interfaces.” “A few projects? Successfully or successfully used? And if you have never done it before… how can you be sure that you’ll be successful… not many projects apparently out there to take lessons learnt. Why not a bread and butter PPP where you combine the two projects and eliminate all interfaces?” “Such a contract would be too big.” “Well… such a project would be too expensive.” That gives you an idea of the...

Conflict of interest: A time bomb You can have the best lawyers.The shiniest financial model.The perfect risk matrix. The most balance incentive a.k.a. bonuses program… And still see your project collapse…Because of conflict of interest. Take the Athens ring road extension. 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...
