Change can happen to you. If you are one of those that think that a person cannot change… go to the ophthalmologist, you need a review. If you are one of those that think that YOU can’t change and grow… there is a bottom that says unsubscribe. Please click. Change can be fast. Change can also be permanent. Vinh Giang, a raising start in communication, says that “don’t be so attached to who you are in the present, that you don’t give the future version of you a chance”. And he is so right. We are attached to our habits, even if we know that they are bad. To our friends, even if they are toxic. To our city, even if we know there is no great future there. To our routines, Netflix series, and so many other things… You know the quote. It’s crazy to do exactly the same and waiting for different results. Change can happen to you, but you need to want it.

I have nothing against success fees. I do work on success. But think about it. Working entirely at...
Imagine you are building a hospital. Actually, make it two. Both under PFI contracts, aka, another acronym in the PPP world. One morning, your contractor goes into liquidation. That morning arrived on 15 January 2018. The contractor was Carillion. The hospitals were Royal Liverpool and Midland Metropolitan. Construction stopped. Unfortunately, patients could not be admitted to a PowerPoint explaining the risk allocation. Fortunately, only their taxes were claimed. The projects had to be...
You know those “premium” sofas in New Zealand? The ones that are so premium that are also suddenly 50% off? Wonderful news. Until you wonder what the original price was doing. Was I about to pay for a sofa? Or fund the retailer’s retirement? Or their kids going to Harvard? Now imagine that feeling in a procurement room. Well… I found a case that it’s the perfect example. 1976 General Electric was bidding to build part of PAVE PAWS, a US missile warning radar system. Its original price for the...
