The Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan will really test the new way they run their infrastructure (public works) projects. The changes implemented in the last 10 years or so should help them recover more quickly than they would have traditionally.
The story is also about saving lives -
The link below is to a video (42 minutes) talking about the successes achieved and how it came about. I am told that ALL infrastructure projects are now managed by CCPM. A key in Japan is that with Critical Chain they were able to create "WA" or Harmony between the public, (residents), the government and the contractors. Projects are finished sooner, lives are saved, cooperation is much greater, trust has grown, and contractors make more money money while saving money for the taxpayer.

You can watch the video for free until April10.
There will be more infrastructure project presentations in June 2011 at the TOCICO conference in New York.
