The MEED view of the Saudi utilities market 2010MEED
Saudi Arabia has the largest utilities market in the region, with the biggest power sector, second largest desalination sector, and almost half of the GCC's wastewater treatment capacity. Each of these sectors faces high demand growth of around 6% annually, very high per capita consumption rates, and the need for massive investment and capacity expansion to meet demand and replace aging infrastructure. An estimated $80 billion is needed for new infrastructure over the next decade through both public and private sector investment. The government is pursuing public-private partnerships and contracting more projects to international developers and contractors to help achieve the expansion goals.
This document discusses EBRD's experience financing urban transport projects over the past 15+ years. Some key points:
- EBRD has invested €5 billion in over 300 municipal and urban transport projects since 1994.
- Projects are diversified across sectors and regions within EBRD countries.
- A typical challenge is poorly managed municipal transport companies with obsolete fleets and loss-making operations.
- EBRD's approach is to promote decentralization and use of public service contracts between municipalities and operators to define service standards and payment formulas tied to performance.
- Public service contracts aim to commercialize operations, incentivize efficiency, and provide long-term stable revenues for operators to rein

The Italian government has developed an open monitoring system called OpenCUP to increase transparency around public investments. OpenCUP uses a unique 15-character alphanumeric code called the CUP code to identify each public investment project. The CUP code allows data on projects to be interconnected across different government information systems and provides transparency on over 1.2 million projects worth over 1.2 trillion euros. OpenCUP also maintains a public portal that identifies each project and makes associated data available in open formats to increase transparency and data use.
Public private partnerships - the case of lebanon first ppp - pierre el-hnoudPierre Hnoud
This document discusses Lebanon's need for public-private partnerships (PPPs) to address major infrastructure gaps, particularly in the power sector. It notes that power demand exceeds supply by 23% and costs the government $1.5 billion annually in subsidies. A proposed solution is a 1500-2500 MW independent power plant (IPP) under a PPP scheme. Key risks like political and economic instability would be borne by the government, while private partners would take on execution risks in constructing and operating the plant. The next steps proposed are hiring an advisor, finalizing PPP laws, establishing a PPP unit, continuing awareness efforts, and gaining private sector investment interest.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
