Building & Energizing the North American Infrastructure Marketplace

The survey is conducted prior to the 6th North American Strategic Infrastructure Leadership Forum (Washington, DC • October 28-30, 2014). The results of the survey will be shared with participants at the North American Leadership Forum (along with every single respondent). The White Paper will be available in December, 2014.

We are polling top decision-makers in North America (note that we have just over 60,000 executives in our data base), in three sections:

First, your perceptions of the State of Infrastructure in 2014; and

Second, your perception of Country Infrastructure Capacity (CIC) in the country in which you work, a short 8 question diagnostic developed by CG/LA - useful to private sector business developers and strategists, and by policymakers.

Third, while we have your juices flowing - please share 2-3 projects that are critical to the future so we can include these in our Strategic Top 100 North America 2014 list.
