I published this brief post on LinkedIn in February 2017 as a conversation starter. And, boy, did it ever start a conversation!

"This is the proposition. I have recently been successful in securing a five year zero value framework with no guarantee of any work.
It is an all risks contract, which will return me a 2% margin if everything goes exactly to plan, and my client is looking for year on year efficiency savings of 5%.
If I make any gain share, the client wants half of it, and the amount is capped in any case".
Anyone want to guess the likely response?
