The same thing that discourages some motivates others. Another person’s well-being, their neighbor’s prosperity. A car, a house, a trip. Some feel attacked by this; others feel motivated.

Let’s get more information: “Are they experienced?” “No” “Are they empowered?” “No” “Have they been instructed to give you nuts?” “Maybe” “Warm… Have you asked why **** is so important for them?” “No” “Warmer… Have you had recently a coffee or conversation with their bosses?” “No” “Ummm… let’s prepare an action plan” You can...
The more cases I review from my advisor’s position, the more amazed I’m about people repeating the same mistakes over and over. One of the most astonishing, under-focused risks in infrastructure PPPs is land availability and land cost escalation. Too often, governments assume or implicitly transfer the risk of land value increases to the private concessionaire. Please, don’t.
