A bit more on PPPs (Dec 2009)

 There must have been some Google alert going for PPPs.  I was desperate to get involved in them at the time.  I did get a fair amount of experience about a year later.  I was approached by a woman who ran a business badly.  So badly that her staff turnover was ridiculous. The best thing about her (and she's still around) is that the internet bandwidth ran out after two days and the photocopier didn't work - and we'd do training sessions.

What a gal. But I got the PPP experience I wanted.  I do talk about it in the blog.  

I haven't mentioned this before but I was once involved with Alice Rennie.  Many years ago.  A very bright woman.  She has multiple qualifications, an impressive number.  I remember her telling me about PPPs in the last 90s.  She sent me her MBA thesis that I referred to once in a presentation.  Thank you Al

Caird logo - no contact details with byline3 (May 08) I found this great article from a SKNews (St Kitts in the West Indies). 

The principles of PPP, when properly applied, give government tremendous leverage in undertaking many infrastructural projects simultaneously and even bring on board other projects that would otherwise be impossible.  It is well known that infrastructure drives development.

PPP is a partnership between government and a private entity specifically designed for the delivery of a public service. The private entity assumes some of the risks and responsibilities normally associated with government thus providing government the opportunity to focus on governing and the delivery of services.

More on PPPs and transaction advisors soon.
