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.

But… There was just one small detail. The proof was a tail. Not a dead rat. Apparently, nobody thought that distinction would become...
He won the tender. Sixty-six days later, he was eliminated… I mean… dead. Which is a fairly aggressive way to terminate a contract. Rome. AD 193. Escalation did not have several levels of governance apparently… or they were just efficient too… Anyway. The Praetorian Guard murdered Emperor Pertinax. An awkward development. Especially considering their job was to protect him. Like Lenders… when you do need them… The fact is that the guys spotted a commercial opportunity. A vacant throne. Two...
I bring you today a useful reminder for anyone advising the public sector. Shanghai’s Maglev. It connects Pudong Airport with Longyang Road in about eight minutes. Eight minutes. Fantastic.
