Critical Solutions for South Africa's Infrastructure at “Beyond the Blueprint” Launch

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – June 24, 2025 – With South Africa poised to invest a monumental R1 trillion in new infrastructure, the crucial question remains: will this significant capital be deployed effectively, or will it fall prey to historical pitfalls? Decision-makers in the development space, especially those focused on renewable energy, have a timely opportunity to gain strategic insights tomorrow, June 25, 2025, at the online launch of "Beyond the Blueprint." 

Authored by award-winning development economist and Kalnisha Singh, the "Beyond the Blueprint” series offers practical solutions to avoid recurring errors in major development projects. The inaugural paper, "Beyond the Blueprint: Strategic Lessons from South Africa’s Energy Infrastructure Projects," directly addresses the often-overlooked dynamics that undermine success in this vital sector. 

"Whether it’s infrastructure delivery, transformation strategy, compliance design, or stakeholder engagement - too many projects fall short of their potential, not because of a lack of intent, but because of how we approach the work," states Singh. "The 'Beyond the Blueprint' series was created to openly share these vital lessons, empowering the industry to mitigate losses and drive successful project outcomes." 

Tomorrow, author Kalnisha Singh will personally present the core findings of the energy infrastructure white paper in a live, interactive online event. As a miultiple award-winning development economist and founder of the acclaimed KD Strategies consultancy, Singh has often been the expert called in to fight development project fires. Her intention with "Beyond the Blueprint" is to help others prevent those fires. 

This essential event is specifically designed for technical professionals and leadership—including engineers, project managers, and strategic decision-makers—in the infrastructure, energy, and broader development sectors. Attendees will enjoy the exclusive benefit of direct Q&A with Kalnisha Singh and immediate access to the newly-launched first white paper in the series. While a recording will be available, real-time engagement provides unparalleled value. 

Stakeholders ready to reshape the future of infrastructure development can still register for a limited number of complimentary spots today.
