It’s half-empty
|
I tried to move the suitcase. And I couldn’t believe the weight. “But… what have you put inside, just for a few days?” “Almost nothing, it’s half-empty” ​ I wondered what the weight would be for my wife if the suitcase was half-full. ​ We live in a world of abundance. But this creates a big issue in many people. It’s difficult to decide. To choose. Pick up something and disregard the rest. ​ I call it the Tinder syndrome. Lots of dates, but zero commitment… as you feel that you’re missing out if you pick one. ​ This is one of the reasons people subscribe to newspapers. News are available everywhere… but curated information… it’s hard to find. The same happens with MBAs… people still pay for a curriculum where they find “curated” knowledge, even if 95% is rubbish. ​ I get it. ​ This is why when I decided to create an intro course to PPPs… I wanted to be very picky with the things I included in the course. It’s not a course for people liking the World Bank stuff. But trust me… there is value there… lots of it. As I do with all my courses. Years of experience and hair loss in a nutshell. Give it a try. ​Vicente Valencia Academy ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

I’ve been doing quite a lot of work these days with market lead proposals. I mean, proposals coming directly from the market and made to the government of New Zealand. I love the ideas put forward by proponent. Their enthusiasm. And commitment. Most of them fail in the “exclusivity” criteria. Why you are so good that the government absolutely needs to negotiate with you directly without going to the market. It’s fascinating. That’s a high bar, but some people get through it. IP, exclusive...
Most construction disasters happen on Mondays. Some on Fridays. But only the truly legendary ones wait for Christmas Day. New York City, 2007. Downtown Manhattan. A 40-storey office tower under construction. Skeleton up, façade almost done, 70% completed. The kind of project where everyone, owner, contractor, union, inspectors, just wants to go home and eat turkey. On the morning of December 25th, a security guard on site hears something strange: “Clank… clank… clank…” He thinks it’s a rat. A...
