You’ve probably heard about a space ship hitting badly Venus or Mars, I don’t remember, because of miscalculations, right? Well, that’s everywhere. When you do your taxes, when you calculate your retirement or when you receive an inheritance. All are miscalculation errors. In construction, there are everywhere. In 1970, during the construction of the Kadena Air Base Bridge in Okinawa, Japan, engineers made a slight miscalculation. As usual… Two teams started building from opposite sides of the river, expecting to meet perfectly in the middle. But when they finally got close... one side was 2 meters higher than the other! I mean… not 1 cm, not 2 cm, not 10 cm… just 2 meters. The error? One team had used metric measurements, while the other worked in imperial units. If you think that this is impossible today, you’re absolutely wrong. If you don’t believe me, check this list of lessons learnt from my last project. ​

In your pocket and your mind. “People who must be perfect, or cannot allow themselves to make mistakes, are often people without much 20/20 vision. They are the people who make the biggest mistake, which is to fail to learn from...
Small children don’t wait. They come with their “wee, wee” statement… like a Change Notice on Christmas Eve. And it means now. Not in 1 min, that I’m eating. No. Just right now. In a rush, you take over everything you need for such a complex operation. Peeing in a public / restaurant toilet. And you arrive in a rush. Then, you realized the obvious thing. Too many tables. Too many people eating. Too few bathrooms. The waiting list announces the inevitable. A wee-wee accident. Kids are not made...
Most PPP evaluations are designed by committees obsessed with checking boxes. Not with selecting the best partner. The result? Overcomplicated scoring matrices Subjective criteria disguised as science Endless “clarification” rounds A perfect environment for disputes… Sorry. A PPP evaluation is not an academic exercise. It’s a decision. And decisions must be fast, clear, defensible. So… how do you design the perfect evaluation? The 3-Step PPP Evaluation That Actually Works Step 1 — Choose only...
