Getting sued
|
They say that if you don’t get haters, it’s because you are unnoticed. They also say that if you don’t get sued, it’s because you are not achieving anything valuable. ​ I may be talking a little personal here. ​ But, apply this to the PPP world and you’ll get the same pattern. ​ If you are an agency and some people don’t dislike you, you’re probably being average. You’re a kind of Care Bear, an Osito Amoroso. Spreading love. Fearful of upsetting anybody. You’re average in Averageland. ​ And if you don’t get sued, it’s because you are still in Osito Amoroso mode. Giving, and giving for an easy life at taxpayer expense. You’re not concentring on the contract basis… … or you had an excellent consortium… something that can happen too. ​ If you work on the private sector… the same apply. You win the expected contracts. You don’t innovate. You spread your love between all potential partners assisting to all speed dating contests for all potential contracts. You say “let me think about it” instead of “no”. Unnoticed. Someone else in the zoo. ​ And we you get sued is when you break things. You’re not one more anymore. You achieve things. Win contracts. Deliver. One after the other. You put agencies on the corner if they misbehave… or partners too. A vision that is out of the herd… and you’ll get sued. ​ More about getting sued and how to navigate those waters in the link below. ​Vicente Valencia Academy ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

The Channel Tunnel. 50-km underwater megastructure linking France and the UK. An engineering icon. A masterpiece. A miracle of geology, finance, diplomacy, and caffeine or theine. A day like today in 1998. New Year’s Day. Half the team hungover. Half asleep. Half the world still partying. The temperature suddenly dropped. Outside: freezing. Inside the service tunnels: warm and humid. A perfect recipe for the gods of engineering to say: “Let’s mess with them.” Condensation froze. Ice formed on...
If you thought that I’ll be telling you happy new year stuff, you don’t know me enough. Once that you over drink and over eat tonight, you have one year ahead. To grow. To become better. To achieve great things. Up to you, what you want to do tomorrow. When there are some people messing around with “resaca” or a “hangover”, others will be running.

Brisbane, Australia. 2011. A hot, humid year, and an even hotter PPP disaster: the Clem7 Tunnel. Traffic numbers tanked. Revenue collapsed. The SPV went into voluntary administration. And the government, tired, embarrassed, politically cornered… decided to move fast. Maybe too fast. “Take control. Sort the mess. Do it now.” And they did. At light speed. They pushed what, in PPP terms, is basically the nuclear button: step-in, buy-out, asset recovery… messily… everything at once. OMG. The...
