Process management literature is skeptical about creating legitimacy and a sense of partnership when implementing concessional Public-Private Partnerships. Within such organizational arrangements, managerial interaction often resembles zero-sum games. To explore the possibility to (re)create a sense of partnership in concessional PPPs, we developed the “3P challenge” serious game. Two gaming sessions with a mixed group of practitioners and a team of public project managers showed that the game cycle recreates adversarial situations where players can enact contractual obligations with higher or lower levels of subjectivity. When reflecting on the gaming experience, practitioners point out that PPP contracts can be creatively enacted by managers who act as brokers of diverse interests. While becoming aware of each other stakes they can blend contractual dispositions or place brackets around some contractual clauses for reaching agreement. By doing so, they can (re)create a sense of partnership, clarity, and fairness of the PPP contract.

流程管理文献对实施优惠的公私合作伙伴关系时产生的合法性和伙伴关系持怀疑态度。在这种组织安排中，管理互动通常类似于零和博弈。为了探索在特惠PPP中建立（重新）伙伴关系的可能性，我们开发了“ 3P挑战”严肃游戏。与一群从业者和一组公共项目经理一起进行的两次游戏会议表明，游戏周期重现了对抗性局面，玩家可以以更高或更低的主观性来履行合同义务。在反思游戏体验时，从业人员指出，PPP合同可以由充当各种利益经纪人的经理创造性地制定。在意识到彼此之间的利害关系时，他们可以将合同处置或在某些合同条款周围放置括号以达成协议。通过这样做，他们可以（重新）建立PPP合同的伙伴关系，明确性和公平性。
