The Uncharted Conversations series tackles the tough and sometimes controversial questions of the infrastructure industry. This time, Riccardo, David, and Melissa set sail toward benefits realization—why is this seemingly vital component of major programmes so often eclipsed by an overarching focus on time and budget? Shouldn't the real measure of social project success be the benefits to the public, long after the project is over?Projects in transit and other asset classes are becoming more complex and interprovincial. The panel considers the need for benefit realization to stay front and centre—superseding capital budget adherence. It is, after all, the outcome least likely to change over often decade-long planning and execution. They look at public reaction to finished projects and consider how that reaction might change should cost–benefit analysis play a larger role from the beginning. Can delivery teams call a project a “win” simply because it's operational? This episode explores the trade-offs decision makers need to weigh (signal priority, car-centric constraints, political palatability, affordability) and how those choices shape the end user experience and media narrative. Along the way, the panel touches on how better incentive design, clearer decision architecture, and more connected suite-of-projects thinking may be necessary over long build lifecycles, in the face of ever-shifting expectations and populations.Key Takeaways:Aligning bidding and design decisions with cost–benefit outcomes to unlock innovation beyond lowest-capital-cost thinking;The industry's struggle to challenge major social infrastructure operating models;The vital role of the project sponsor in the balance between intended benefits and inevitable trade-offs;The potential for public dissatisfaction regardless of a project's original business case and outcome;How delays, population growth, and rising expectations can erode public tolerance—even if an asset meets its original targets.Quote:“Aligning based on the cost–benefit of the project can allow for a little bit more innovation when it comes to bidding on these projects.” - Melissa Di MarcoThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Listen to Season 3, Episode 32 on project sponsorship: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/72 Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/ Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/ Follow David Ho: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtho-ontario/Follow Melissa Di Marco: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-di-marco/

How do proactive dispute resolution pathways improve infrastructure project success? Every major programme has its share of disputes, big or small, and addressing these issues with level heads benefits every party on every project. In this episode, Riccardo sits down with Sahil Shoor, a partner at Gowling WLG who serves as external counsel on a wide range of construction projects. Together, they unpack the role lawyers play in the lifecycle of a project—and why that role is increasingly shifting from “claims at the end” to “resolution during the work.” Sahil acknowledges that many disputes aren't born from bad faith or failed contract drafting—they come from unresolved issues that quietly compound. When teams avoid hard conversations early, the same friction points can echo throughout the project, creating domino effects in schedules, costs, and relationships. Sahil argues that the best results come when projects build credible pathways for raising issues and making timely decisions before situations become adversarial.Riccardo and Sahil's conversation digs into governance tools that support dispute avoidance rather than dispute denial: structured “early warning” approaches, clear escalation routes, and dispute boards that introduce neutral expertise before technical problems become existential. The takeaway is clear: the success of any project depends on how proactively risk is managed and disagreements are handled from the outset.Key TakeawaysWhy unresolved issues cause more conflict than bad drafting or bad faith;The nip-in-the-bud benefits of the neutral, expert input of dispute boards;Where internal counsel and external counsel add different value during execution;The danger of split focus when ignoring disputes until a project is completed;How resolution pathways reduce overreliance on “contractual entitlement” thinking.Quote:“It is not about avoiding risk but managing risk and managing it intelligently…project counsel is central to that effort.” - Sahil ShoorThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/ Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/ Follow Sahil Shoor: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shoorsahil/

Storie di Calcio - Francesco Tringali racconta la storia di Riccardo Maspero
In part two of this deep dive, Riccardo, Emily Moore, Pouya Zangeneh, and Rob Pattison continue unpacking Montreal's REM (Réseau express métropolitain)—this time zooming in on what the project's risk decisions reveal about long-term infrastructure delivery.The group digs into a key point that often gets lost in public conversations about mega-projects: risk doesn't disappear, it just shifts hands. CDPQ Infra's willingness to absorb ridership and cost-overrun risk prompts a broader discussion about what it means to plan on a decades-long horizon and why “designing for the bad years” may be a defining feature of resilient infrastructure.They also discuss the role of regulation and professional judgment: whether success comes from pushing limits or from rethinking policies that no longer serve their intended purposes. They explore how contract structures, interface management, and invested technical expertise on the owner side can influence outcomes more than any single procurement model.Finally, the panel returns to the big question raised in part one: Is the REM model replicable? The answer requires examining the enabling conditions, including trust, governance, political courage, and public tolerance.Key Takeaways:Why absorbing risk isn't unique but long-horizon thinking is;What happens to contingency planning when owners accept the inevitability of “bad years”;The important difference between pushing the limits and reconsidering the rules;How looking beyond a single capital line item toward lifecycle outcomes secures project success;Why the “stupid owner” model has a tendency to fail and how successful project owners avoid it.Quote:“The problem around the world…is the stupid owner movement: ‘Pass all the risk to the contractor. Call me when you're done.' It doesn't work. You need invested experts on the owner side.” - Robert PattisonThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:“Montreal's REM Project: Executive Summary of Replicable Elements”: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PEyOyfVgetRiN8sGJ_07QfM9U7wFcFKo/view?usp=drive_linkListen to part 1 of this discussion: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s4/5Season 3 panel on Public-Private Partnerships, Part 1: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/56;Season 3 panel on Public-Private Partnerships, Part 2: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/57 Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/ Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/ Follow Emily Moore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-moore-7483311/ Follow Pouya Zangeneh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pouya-zangeneh-00537026/Follow Robert Pattison: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robsdoor/

In the first of this two-part conversation, Riccardo is joined by a familiar trio—Emily Moore, Pouya Zangeneh, and Rob Patterson—for a wide-ranging and refreshingly candid unpacking of Montreal's REM (Réseau express métropolitain) project and the structure behind it.The REM is a modern driverless transit system, but that's not where its innovation lies. Rather, the panel suggests, what's unique is its governance and financing model: CDPQ Infra (a subsidiary of CDPQ, Quebec's largest pension fund) acts as developer and financier for the multi-billion-dollar, revenue-backed public transit asset. The three infrastructure experts explore what makes this arrangement so unusual, what conditions were required for it to work, and whether it's replicable outside Quebec's distinctive political, legal, and trust environment.The conversation digs into the often-overlooked “plumbing” of mega-project delivery: who holds accountability, who makes decisions, how consultation is structured, and why separating operations from development can change outcomes dramatically. Come back next week for part two, which delves into the long-horizon decisions behind the REM and how risk, regulation, and ownership shape mega projects.Key Takeaways:The governance and legislative conditions that helped set the REM up for speed and results;Why the trust factor may be the silent enabler that makes this model politically viable;Why CDPQ Infra's role as developer raises new questions about public vs. private delivery;What “risk” means when a pension fund is behind a project (and what happens if things go badly);Why project success often depends on the separation of owners and operators from developers.Quote:“Success comes from splitting the money from the project from the operational program, and I think they've done that really, really well.” - Rob PattisonThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:“Montreal's REM Project: Executive Summary of Replicable Elements”: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PEyOyfVgetRiN8sGJ_07QfM9U7wFcFKo/view?usp=drive_linkSeason 3 panel on Public-Private Partnerships, Part 1: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/56;Season 3 panel on Public-Private Partnerships, Part 2: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/57 Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/ Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/ Follow Emily Moore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-moore-7483311/ Follow Pouya Zangeneh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pouya-zangeneh-00537026/Follow Rob Pattison: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robsdoor/

Con la cerimonia allo stadio di San Siro a Milano durante la quale è stato acceso il braciere, sono stati ufficialmente aperti i Giochi olimpici invernali di Milano Cortina. Che, però, fanno già discutere. In questa puntata parliamo anche di un corteo a Torino che si è trasformato in un'occasione di violenza tra manifestanti e polizia; e della storia di Riccardo costretto a tornare a casa a piedi da scuola nella neve perché non aveva i soldi per pagare il biglietto. A proposito di biglietti: ora anche per vedere la fontana di Trevi a Roma ne servirà uno; mentre all'aeroporto di Città del Messico chi ha paura di volare può accarezzare (gratis) un cucciolo

What actually goes into major project budgeting at the government level—and what does it mean to take a calculated risk with public dollars? In this episode, Riccardo and Peter Weltman explore how public infrastructure decisions get made behind the scenes. A former Financial Accountability Officer for Ontario and veteran of the Treasury Board of Canada, Peter has decades of experience in cost estimation, defence procurement, and parliamentary budgeting. He provides illuminating explanations of how funding decisions are influenced by factors like confidence intervals, political priorities, and strategic tradeoffs. Together, he and Riccardo take a look at the budgetary pressures facing all levels of government and what “over budget” really means. This episode offers a frank perspective on implementing a shift from reactive fixes to proactive planning and the financial and political mechanisms that could make that possible.Key TakeawaysHow the Treasury Board of Canada makes decisions around government spending on infrastructure;The political side of deciding on major project budgets;How the Canadian Infrastructure Council is researching their report;Asking questions that help secure budget decision accountability;The benefits of financial incentives for infrastructure maintenance.Quote:“Really, the best investment [for Canadian infrastructure] right now is investing in making the stuff we already own work better.” - Peter WeltmanThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Peter Weltman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-weltman/ Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.
