Organizational Design

Public-Private Partnerships

Private companies and units of governmental are self-limiting. Allowable actions are defined by internal factors of agency mission, leadership, financial and staff resources as well as external ones, such as tax laws and legislation. Public agencies are conservative by nature. They are slow to take advantage of opportunities, often by necessity, since political commitment and budgets may change with every election.

Private sector priorities are often shaped by market forces, maintaining a competitive position and meeting investor and lender expectations. Actions are often constrained by community resistance and regulation.

We design and create structures for public-private partnerships that leverage the resources of both parties. They reduce and overcome many of the limitations to effective energy programs. They allow the application of entrepreneurial and management skills, technical competencies and the placement of capital. They blend these assets with the public sector’s ability to mobilize community support, exert political leadership and access low cost sources for funding.
