How many PPP Projects fail?
|
95% of startups die before turning 5. Someone, full of good intentions, buys a domain, builds a website, slaps on a logo, adds “CEO” to their LinkedIn... and before the Real Madrid wins a couple of Champions Leagues, that domain is back with GoDaddy. And it gets worse. 70% of those startups vanish without making a single euro, or dollar or whatever. Nothing. Not a cent. They die without ever popping the cash register’s cherry. No glory. No VAT. Nada. Joder. ​ For PPP projects, the failure rate is around 5% to 10% during their life which is around 30 years. No wonder why risk averse pension funds love infrastructure. ​ In the project below, we were about to join that statistics and make life miserable to some of these funds… well… in particular to fund managers and their bonuses. ​ But we didn’t. ​ The how, the why and more can be found below.

If your life is not something you’d recommend to anyone (or at least not to someone you like), then you’ve got two options. And they’re refreshingly simple: 1. The system's premium package: Complain and do nothing. Blame your...
They called it Berlin Brandenburg Airport.A “flagship” project.Germany’s answer to efficiency.Built for the public. Delivered by a “consortium.” They forgot one tiny detail: systems. Unbelievable when you are talking about Germany, right? But real. Fire safety? Didn’t work.Smoke extraction? Backwards.Wiring? Rewired 3 times.Doors? Over 1,200 installed — then reversed — then reinstalled. Because the systems didn’t talk to each other.Because no one was in charge of systems...
“Winners and losers have the same goals. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” This is what James Clear says in his book, Atomic Habits. A book you should study if you want to do any good in life. People still behave as beheaded chickens in life. Jumping from a shiny object to the next. From a low-key task to the next. From a fire to the next. No systems. No learnings. Don’t show me the wheel, I’m too busy pushing this rock. I’ve seen this...
