Also true. The fetish for the private sector!! 🤑Why can’t we move on? Time & time again we learn through bad experience that the private sector provision of essential goods & especially services, has to be regulated, monitored, & experience consequences when it does the wrong thing. Perhaps when all that is added together, in some ‘Social Economics’ or ‘cost benefit analysis’ that actually includes all the externalities, it will be found to be a more effective use of public monies to offer services through public sector structures. 🤔
Oooo now I feel I’m ranting!!

Saw a post on LI moaning about #integrity in the #publicsector, as if it was an isolated issue. Let's stop pretending integrity is a public or #privatesector issue. It's #cultural. No one is willing to honestly address it. Not cause it's hard, but integrity & #accountability are a threat to everyone holding a #leadership role. If we took the issue serious, most leaders would be put of a job & have a tough time finding new employment. That applies to all leaders, no matter if public or private.

The World Economic Forum’s bold prediction-8
Corporate Influence in Governance Will Expand by 2030
In the evolving landscape of global governance, the World Economic Forum anticipates that by 2030, corporations will play an increasingly central role in shaping policies and governance frameworks worldwide. This shift reflects the growing complexity of global challenges and the need for resource mobilization, innovation, and expertise from the private sector alongside traditional governmental roles.
The Rise of Corporate Influence
Corporations now control vast resources and technological capabilities, positioning them as key stakeholders in addressing issues like climate change, public health, and sustainable development. Their influence in policy-making is expected to deepen as governments face limitations in capacity, funding, and agility to tackle multifaceted global problems alone.
This trend is evident in public-private partnerships and multi-stakeholder governance models where decision-making authority is shared among governmental bodies, companies, and civil society organizations. Such collaborations aim to harness diverse strengths for more effective, scalable solutions.
Changing Definitions of Governance
The traditional notion of governance centered on sovereign states is expanding to include actors beyond governments. Corporations are increasingly involved in setting standards, regulations, and agendas that have wide-reaching economic and social impacts.
Investment decisions by major corporations now factor in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, influencing global markets and community welfare. This shift toward stakeholder capitalism champions broader accountability beyond shareholder profit, aligning business practices with societal needs.
Benefits and Opportunities
Expanded corporate engagement brings opportunities for innovation, resource mobilization, and operational efficiency. Businesses introduce cutting-edge technologies, management practices, and global networks to accelerate progress on sustainability goals.
Moreover, corporations’ ability to rapidly adapt and experiment can complement slower governmental processes, delivering pilot projects and scalable initiatives that address urgent issues.
Risks and Criticisms
However, increased corporate influence is not without controversy. Critics argue that this trend risks undermining democratic governance by concentrating power in unelected entities primarily motivated by profit. There are concerns about transparency, accountability, and conflicts of interest, particularly when corporate interests diverge from public good.
The governance landscape could become fragmented and inconsistent if private sector actors prioritize market advantages over equity and inclusiveness.
The Role of Policy and Regulation
Ensuring that corporate participation strengthens rather than weakens governance requires robust legal and ethical frameworks. Governments, international organizations, and independent watchdogs must establish clear guidelines, disclosure requirements, and accountability mechanisms.
Transparency in decision-making processes and stakeholder engagement is crucial to maintain public trust. Empowering civil society and media to monitor corporate influence helps preserve checks and balances.
Examples of Emerging Models
Successful multi-stakeholder initiatives include climate alliances where corporations commit to emissions reductions verified by independent bodies. Public health partnerships leverage pharmaceutical innovation alongside governmental distribution efforts to improve access to medicines worldwide.
These models exemplify how collaborative governance can balance interests, driving systemic change while safeguarding democratic principles.
Looking Forward
As the world navigates complex challenges into 2030, the interplay between corporate influence and governance will be pivotal. The World Economic Forum envisions a future where responsible business leadership integrates with public policy to foster resilient, inclusive societies.
Achieving this vision demands continued dialogue among all stakeholders, updated governance frameworks, and a shared commitment to equitable outcomes. Balancing power and purpose in this expanded governance ecosystem will define the trajectory of global development in the coming decade.

Why do IT projects tend to under-deliver, over-run and cost far more than anticipated?
'In the UK in the 1990s it was estimated that 90 per cent of IT systems put in failed to deliver the expected results.'
Tbh, I'm not sure this is a problem unique to IT projects. They tend to be higher profile, cost more and failures often have particularly disastrous consequences.
Interesting the point he makes about secrecy & scrutiny in the public vs private sectors.
