They don't listen, and they don't want to do it
|
Sometimes they don’t listen. And they do… they don’t understand. Even, what’s evident. It’s like they had something blocking their brains. You think that it’s simple. That’s evident. That’s what’s in the contract. That they are partners. Win-win. And they don’t get it, or they don’t want to get it… which is the same. They are just empowered to say no, and they like the feel of power. The feel of I’m god, your master, and you’re my servant. ​ If you think that this is bad in normal commercial relationships, you have no idea how destructive it can be for a PPP. Everyone forgets one of the P. Thinks escalate rapidly. And if the public administration is weak, which is almost always the case… They shit in their pants. They run like beheaded chickens. And you, dear taxpayer, pays. You pay for their laziness and weakness. ​ And if you think that I exaggerate is because you don’t have enough projects on your back, and sleepless nights. These stubborn positions cost the taxpayers billions per year around the world. ​ But no worries. There is a cure. And it’s not painful. It’s just the cure. ​ You want to know more about that cure… then check this link below. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

How many times have you felt like that? Dealing with a two-headed beast where each head has no clue what the other is up to? Well… Welcome to the wonderful world of environmental permits in PPPs. A classic. Just like trying to build a highway while one government department waves you in and the other one just shrugs and says, “Not my problem, buddy.” But from time to time, laziness and Pilates’s syndrome stays away. Let me talk for a second about a unicorn moment. Year 2014. Riyadh, Saudi...
It was supposed to be India’s big PPP success story.A shiny new metro for Hyderabad.60 km of elevated track.Glossy renders.Big press. Then… disaster. The first consortium collapsed in slow motion. Delays.Land issues.Political fights.The kind of chaos that turns engineers into philosophers. Equity providers in beheaded chickens. And lenders in beggars. The project was drowning in paperwork and blame. Everyone pointing fingers.Nobody holding the wheel. Until someone said the magic words: “A...
Being bank holiday in New Zealand today, I just have the luxury of my kid’s siesta to keep going. So let’s be brief. Just a reflexion. The same instincts that keep you safe… are also keeping you small. It’s called Passive Ambition. You crave freedom, but fear risk You want all the upside, but avoid volatility You dream big, but act small Look. Every person you admire once looked like a fool. Entrepreneur. Athlete. Builder. Whatever. Building anything meaningful starts with a bet, usually on...
