‘The book not only gives a clear picture of the policy and
strategic framework of PFI/PPP projects, the governance and
knowledge management issues through different phases from planning,
design development to operation and service delivery and the
processes associated with each phase, but practical tools,
methodologies and capabilities needed to deliver PFI/PPP projects
in a range of sectors are also explained. It clearly demonstrates
the key imperatives that are the hallmark of successful programmes
and projects no matter what there method of funding or delivery.
I have no doubt that, in undertaking the programmes and projects
that I am responsible for delivering and in undertaking OGC Gateway
Reviews, to support clients delivering their own programmes and
projects, I will draw on the material contained in this
book.’
–From the Foreword by Rob Smith, Director of Gateway
Reviews and Estates & Facilities, Department of Health
There is a growing demand worldwide for transport, healthcare,
education, energy and water infrastructure. However, government
resources are often insufficient to meet the needs of new projects
and to upgrade existing infrastructure. Private participation in
public infrastructure is therefore increasing but the respective
roles of the public and private sectors are the subject of intense
debate. This has led to renewed interest in public-private
partnerships in developed and developing countries.
Governance and Knowledge Management for Public-Private
Partnerships shows how effective governance and knowledge
management can improve the performance of PFI/PPP projects. It
provides an in-depth understanding of different dimensions of
governance and how they affect project management structure,
processes, and decision-making ability of actors and teams involved
in PFI/PPP projects. The role of knowledge management strategy, the
need for benchmarking knowledge management efforts, specific tools
and methodologies for capturing, sharing and applying knowledge to
accelerate learning and capacity building are also examined.
The book is essential reading for all those involved in PFI/PPP
projects, including policy makers, industry practitioners,
academics and students. The practical tools for governance and
knowledge management it offers make this book particularly useful
for consultants, contractors and client organisations.
