When public purpose meets private discipline

What makes public-private partnerships work — and what makes them fail.

Public-private partnerships succeed when both sides respect what the other brings: public purpose and private discipline.

They fail when either side forgets that the ultimate client is the citizen.

Patience and discipline compound far more reliably than instinct.
