If you are not going to love the answer, don’t ask.

Simple.

And still people… ask.

I love chocolate.

I make a terrific chocolate cake that is being famous in Spain, Canada and New Zealand.

I pour fondant chocolate for a small army.

100%. Dark. Real. Pure chocolate.

No sugar.

I enjoy making this cake so much!!

​

For my 3 year-old son’s birthday… do you think that I’m going to ask parents whether I should put 5 tablets of dark chocolate in the cake?

I’d be crazy.

​

Still, many people would ask.

For cakes, for jobs, for projects, for whatever.

​

Of course, in the world of “faits-accomplis”, you have to be careful.

And study very well the risks.

​

Worst case, I’ll have a bunch of 3 year-old crazy children crying, running, high in chocolate for 3 hours…

Well… that’s a given. It would happen anyway.

​

In PPP projects things are a little different.

​

Doing things without asking, even if you have the so-terribly-called “best for project” can make your project turn into a nightmare and destroy your credibility.

The “I thought I could do this” is one of the most expensive sentences in PPPs… costing an average of 1.5 million / word.

​

Engrave this in your brain.

Do it over and over.

I think, I believe, my understanding is… are a cancer in complex projects that you must eradicate immediately with minimum severance package.

It’s laziness… or worst… incompetence.

​

If you understand these basics. The cake and the PPP project.

You’ll understand why this project was so successful.
