“Shovel-ready” infrastructure is back in the news as a way to stimulate the economy post pandemic. We learned a lot about that post-financial crisis. We even wrote an @iveybusiness teaching case about it (Industry Canada: The Knowledge Infrastructure Program #9B14M163). 1/n
The work was led by @ISED_CA Iain Stewart (now @NRC_CNRC President) who headed the design and implementation team and Simon Kennedy (now DM @ISED_CA) who managed the central agency/reporting team at @PrivyCouncilCA. The program was aimed at PSE infrastructure projects. 2/n
Here are some of the lessons we learned:
1. Normal gov’t approvals are too slow. Use the crisis to push for streamlined, whole program (not project by project) approvals, circumventing normal, lengthy review by @TBS_Canada and @FinanceCanada . 3/n
