Infrastructure development is a key driver of economic growth, enhancing trade, boosting job creation, and playing a pivotal role in urbanization. Political and regulatory risks, community opposition to investments, and poor maintenance of infrastructure assets post challenges. Executives in this sector need to balance IT objectives with business priorities, manage pricing versus environmental concerns, and navigate service level agreements.

P3

Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) offer a viable solution to bridge the gap between an infrastructure project's cost and available public funding. However, P3s face challenges such as contractual compliance risk, cybersecurity risk, project financing risk, and potential fraud, waste, and abuse. Executives in this sector need to be adept at managing these risks, fostering strong relationships between public and private entities, and ensuring the successful delivery of projects.
