If you focus on successful cases, you’re getting it wrong. Don’t get me wrong. You’ll learn something. But, if only 1 out of 10 makes it to the riches, you’re leaving 90% of the learnings on the table. You can learn something of any project. Things that went OK. Things that went badly. Things that went really badly. Things that you did right. No questions why there are so many people looking for the next uberization of something. Uber of X, Uber of Y, etc… Copy-cuts that sends you to nothing. Just loosing your money. I know that very well, because I tried to create the next uber of home-services and it cost me a fortune. Not totally unsuccessful, but j*der… quite expensive. Yes, I tried those things. A couple of start-ups, a digital printer company, crypto, stock market, bonds, funds, ETF, funds of funds… Do I regret it? No. Not at all. All these things left on me some learnings. And I finally got it. And not only that… now, I think that I can even show how I do it. Real estate is my thing. I’m sure that everybody can make money if the right tools are provided.

That’s how many countries approach infrastructure. Big pipeline. Big announcements. Zero learning. Norway did the opposite. Smart those guys. In the early 2000s, they tested PPPs with just three projects: E39 Klett–Bårdshaug (opened 2005) E39 Lyngdal–Flekkefjord (opened 2006) E18 Grimstad–Kristiansand (opened 2009) That’s it. Three shots. Not fifteen. Not a political fireworks show. A controlled experiment. Same model. Same timeframe. Comparable results. And guess what? They delivered. On...
A few days ago, I had a big argument with my team in Panama. They had spent almost 3 weeks trying to convince a client to change banks for her mortgage. It was a no-brainer.Lower interest rates.Lower fees. They showed her, over and over again, different scenarios… all in vain. You may wonder how, after 2 or 3 days of trying, they kept pushing. She is a public servant.And the team was trying to convince her to move from a government-owned bank to a fully private one. I repeat.Public servant....
The French writer and poet Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add… but when there is nothing left to take away.” And yet… People still have 10-line disclaimers in their email signatures. Or worse… the “please don’t print this email” line. I’ve reviewed bids where they were one step away from including the name and breed of the bid manager’s dog. Horror vacui. Or just… “just in case”.
