9.9  Summary  

This Chapter has presented the design and administration of materials for the process of focus group evaluation of the second IMM. The focus group members individually explored its completeness in terms of public sector governance of PPPs in the operational phase. The analysis of their feedback informed further development of the model. A major change to the IMM argues for the treatment of risk as integral to both partnership management and performance management in PPP. The revised model has now effectively become a risk-based partnership and performance IMM. A third and final iteration of the IMM is developed and presented.

The next Chapter presents the conclusions of this study and recommendations for practice and for further research.
