Vice President of What, Exactly?
|
You talk to that person and think, This must be someone important. Vice President. Well… time to listen. It was urgent. And my agenda always has room for interesting people. Then… 30 seconds into the conversation, you realize this is going nowhere. How he talks. What he asks. The rush to prove the title… something I wasn’t interested in. Well… Disappointment. Then… You check LinkedIn and notice the company has more Vice Presidents than assistants, associates, managers, and project managers combined. Anyway. My mistake. Look. In a world where a taxi driver can be the CEO of a one-vehicle company on LinkedIn, it’s more important than ever to differentiate between CEOs, partners, managers, and directors. Not all are equal. Your experience. Your insights. Your speed. Your network. Your mentors. What you have lived, suffered, and endured. That’s what puts you years ahead of the crowd. Remember this: People listen because of the value you provide — not the title in your email signature or your LinkedIn profile. Want real value you can actually use?

I don’t listen to much music those days… So as he is only 31, I guess that I have not heard much of his songs. And still this is irrelevant. People like judging more than complaining. And my answer about the question is simple. Whoever has what you don’t have knows what you don’t know. And whoever has achieved what you haven’t achieved has done what you...
By the answers of yesterday’s email, I see that people love Canada. I do. So here you are more meat. Montreal… or as we say in Montreal… Montréal. Early 2010s. Project: McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) PPP Value: ~ CAD $1.3 billion Model: DBFM Canada again. Sophisticated market. Experienced advisers. Polished risk matrices. I was there practising kung fu and delivering infrastructure. The goal? Deliver one of the largest hospital redevelopments in North America through PPP. And make it...
Toronto. 2015. Project: Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Value: CAD $5+ billion. Model: DBFM. Jurisdiction: Canada — the global gold standard of PPPs. The agency wanted efficiency. Faster procurement. Faster close. Cleaner risk transfer. Put a medal in the chest for opening the day before election day. So they did what PPP manuals love to say: “Allocate risk to the party best able to manage it.” That sentence has probably financed more claims for lawyers than any other in infrastructure history....
