Transport Policy & Road Fund Management
Roads strategy, maintenance funds, and transport governance.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Cabinet approved transport policy on a slide; the fiscal analysis, the delivery plan and the incentive structure were all to follow. They never did. Citizens do not read the implementation matrix; they experience the clinic, the road, the transport policy service — or its absence. In five days you learn why well-funded transport policy underperforms, and you rehearse the cabinet conversation that changes it.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Design transport policy policy that survives implementation: evidence, incentives and delivery capability.
- Trace transport policy money to outcomes and defend the trace under scrutiny.
- Sequence transport policy reform so it survives resistance, turnover and the next budget cycle.
- Manage transport policy programmes with fiduciary discipline and visible value for money.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Dam at Two-Thirds
A flagship project at a ministry of finance is two-thirds complete when independent review finds the hydrology assumptions optimistic and a cheaper alternative existed. Cancelling embarrasses the government; completing it strains the debt ceiling.
Your decision: Complete, redesign, or pause — and design the public accountability for whichever you choose, transport policy evidence included.
IPAT Data Lab™
A a ministry of health cannot trace its spending to outcomes citizens feel.
Dataset: Synthetic expenditure and outcome panel for a ministry of health, with leakage and coverage gaps.
Your task: Trace money to outcomes, find the value-for-money gaps, and design the dashboard that changes decisions.
An expenditure-to-outcome dashboard and findings memo.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
