PPP = Prolonged, Painful, and Pointless. ​ But not this time. ​ Somehow, against all odds, cultures, and acronyms… The New Royal Adelaide Hospital in South Australia didn’t just avoid disaster — it delivered. ​ Let me break it down for you:
​ The predictions? “Too complex.” ​ But guess what? They finished it. ​ And not just finished — they pulled off a clinical-grade, digitally-integrated, energy-efficient mega-hospital that actually works. ​ The secret sauce?
​ Crazy, right? How couldn’t I have thought about it? A PPP that respected scope, handled conflict like grown-ups, and even came out functional on the other side. How could it be possible… ​ Anyway.

If these statistics were true in a poor country, it would be one thing, but America is considered a wealthy country, right? Judging is a waste of time. Trying to reason about extremely complex issues based on information...
Once upon a time, there was once a hospital PPP that had every reason to implode. The private partner was a joint venture between a French construction giant, an Aussie FM firm, and a Spanish bank that hadn’t read the contract. What could get wrong? The public sector? A government department that changed name three times during procurement. Even the Independent Certifier was late to its own appointment. All the right mindset, bricks, etc. seem to be there… and of course… the damn thing...
Your wealth adventure will be complicated by a new awareness that you are short on skills. Early on, I realized how little I knew about how to connect with people, network, communicate, build rapport, and how little confidence I had.
