Featured Article
Participation is becoming a delivery obligation, not a commitment
Ask a senior infrastructure executive what participation their projects committed to, and they can usually answer in a sentence. Ask them to prove what was actually delivered, across the whole supply chain, down to the subcontractors who did the work, and the room tends to go quiet.
Read the article →How we look at the problem
Participation
Who is involved — the suppliers, regions and people a project commits to, and whether they are actually engaged.
Delivery
What actually happens on the ground, down the supply chain, beyond the commitment made at the top.
Evidence
What can be proven — the record that shows a commitment was met, not simply asserted.
Themes
Procurement & Policy
Procurement reform, policy settings and the shift from counting contracts to evidencing genuine benefit.
