The Corporate Advisory Network (IPP-C) is the private counterpart of the informal Network of Professionals in Infrastructure Delivery (IPP-P), which consists of public buyers of infrastructure – primarily state-owned enterprises and agencies. The IPP-P, supports the exchange of information and development of best practices, contributing to their dissemination. It supports the work of the SIP by providing in depth and evidence-based analysis connected more directly to the efficient delivery of major infrastructure projects, and by bridging SIP strategic work with concrete output.
An objective of the IPP-C (similarly to the informal Network of Professionals in Infrastructure Delivery, “IPP-P”) is to keep high-level policymakers aware of the challenges at the policy implementation level, highlighting the needs and challenges of those involved in infrastructure implementation through evidence-based work, supporting the exchange of information, and development of best practices.
As the IPP-P, the IPP-C is an informal expert network. Its insights will help inform the analysis and the work of the official OECD decision making body on infrastructure governance – The Network of Senior PPP and Infrastructure Officials (SIP).
The call for expression of interests is now open for companies that want to be part of the IPP-C. Participation in the IPP-C is open to companies from a number of different areas across the infrastructure delivery and related subjects (e.g. permitting, design, construction, IT/Infratech, risk management, programme management). Participation in the IPP-C is aimed at corporate representatives, who have a good overview and understanding of the key issues their company is facing in supplying infrastructure or solutions to those that do. The Network is funded by the voluntary contributions of its participants on an annual basis. If you are interested, please reach out to govinfoipp@oecd.org to discuss.
