Abstract

La valutazione ex ante di fattibilità, convenienza e rischio rappresenta un passaggio cruciale per garantire l’efficacia dei Partenariati Pubblico-Privato (PPP), soprattutto in contesti complessi.
Questo contributo propone un framework operativo per supportare i decisori nella valutazione di fattibilità, convenienza e rischio dei PPP, combinando strumenti analitici con un approccio orientato alla pratica manageriale.
Ispirato alla prospettiva Strategy as Practice, il lavoro evidenzia come il processo valutativo non sia soltanto tecnico, ma anche relazionale e negoziale, influenzato dalle interazioni tra attori istituzionali e privati. In questo contesto, il modello finanziario viene reinterpretato come piattaforma di dialogo e co-produzione, capace di favorire
trasparenza, allineamento di interessi e costruzione di valore condiviso. La sostenibilità del partenariato emerge
così dall’integrazione tra razionalità economico-finanziaria e capacità collaborativa, rafforzando la legittimità e l’impatto delle decisioni pubbliche.
