The SRS’ partnering methodology is built around an enabling strategy that mitigates the leading structural risks which commonly undermine and sabotage program and project delivery while enabling the benefits realization factors for successful PP-P®. These risks were identified by SRS based on our own experience on both sides of the partnership paradigm and documented case studies on partnerships. Most critical are the establishment of dynamic governance and dynamic risk-reward models. Previously, PPPs too often seized up in their execution as the operating environment in which the PPP was conceived underwent significant change. Whether the changes arise from policy, organizational transformation, shifting political priorities or budgetary constraints, the SRS dynamic PP-P® model ensures the continuous alignment of interests and priorities of stakeholders and operational entities so that outcomes are reached and benefits are realized.

PP-P® includes Public-Private Partnership, Public-Public, Public-Private-Public & Private-Private Partnerships.
