No man is an island—and neither are major infrastructure projects. Demonstrating a clear-cut social benefit is key to attracting investment and building stakeholder consensus. It can be the difference between a bridge that gets built and years of delays. As Thomas Sherman, Director of Public Sector Initiatives and Programming at AIAI - The Association for the Improvement of American Infrastructure, puts it: “Regardless of positive or negative publicity, you’ve got to have a good message.” Beyond messaging, you’ve got to navigate the complexities of political timing and stakeholder expectations—it’s a lot to juggle. Check out our new industry report, Infrastructure Outlook 2024 and gain insights on how to keep your projects on-time and on-budget. #infrastructure #majorprojects #riskmanagement #p3 #ppp #procurementrisks #procurement #bestpractice

Launching a major infrastructure project? The key to a successful launch are mastering scenario-based evaluations and cost analyses to pinpoint potential pitfalls before problems erupt. Thomas Sherman, the director of Public Sector Initiatives and Programming at @AIAI, highlights the importance of understanding goals and limitations from the outset: "What goes into a good risk transfer is an informed owner—one who’s committed to understanding their own and their project’s limitations. The number one ingredient is understanding your goals. What is the public benefit? What are you willing to put into this project, and what can’t you put into it?"

Going off the rails? Effective risk mitigation can make the difference between multi-million dollar infrastructure projects that are on-time and on-budget and those that careen out of control. “I’ve seen project owners skip some of the upfront expenses, which comes back to bite them when some of the risk transfers kick in,” explains Thomas Sherman, Director of Public Sector Initiatives and Programming at AIAI - The Association for the Improvement of American Infrastructure, “Because they didn’t fully grasp the true cost of something like that materializing, they may price those risk transfers inappropriately.” Identifying and managing risks might feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, but knowing your project's goals helps determine which risks are worth taking on.
