Key Frameworks

Ultimately, the challenge of designing a PPP is an exercise in problem-solving. In their creation, operation, and analysis, PPPs will present you with a series of problems, from die high-level and structural to the low-level and granular. Sometimes problems will be yours, sometimes they will be your partner's. It is important to recognize that, in a codependent partnership, addressing your partner's problems is often just as important as addressing your own.

These six key frameworks are pieces of a methodology that will help you correctly identify, break down, and understand the complex issues presented by PPPs.

• Sharing Risks, Resources, and Governance

• Conventional vs. Optimal Configuration

• Social vs. Economic PPPs

• Allocation of Risks and Opportunities

• Converting Liabilities into Assets

• Internalizing Positive Externalities
