In a rapidly changing world filled with challenges, we often find ourselves asking fundamental questions:
- Why have some nations succeeded in joining the G20 while others have failed?
- Why do some Arab and Islamic countries suffer from weak educational outcomes?
- Why are healthcare systems in certain nations unprepared to handle major crises?
- And why do some countries spend decades—20, 30, or even 40 years—without achieving a transformative breakthrough to escape stagnation?
The Answer Lies in This Series
This series of articles offers a comprehensive vision of how a state can achieve comprehensive power, enabling it to build effective developmental strategies that place it on the path to competing or coming close to joining the G20. The state can address the major challenges mentioned earlier through these developmental strategies.
These articles are aimed at individuals interested in institutional state-building for a modern developmental nation and its role in advancing five essential sectors:
- The National Sector.
- Government Institutions and the Public Sector.
- Municipalities, Regions, and Provinces.
- The Charitable, Endowment, Developmental, and Relief Sector.
- The Private Sector, including Family Businesses.
Methodology and Key Axes
The articles start by addressing each sector individually, outlining the critical axes of each sector before delving into detailed discussions.
Perspective 1: The National Sector
The articles will focus on:
- How to plan and build national strategies.
- Effectively managing these strategies.
- Identifying the critical national offices required for building a strong, modern institutional state.
Perspective 2: Government Institutions
The series explores how to transform government institutions from relying on personal visions and individual efforts into a closed institutional system equipped with the foundations for sustainability and self-improvement without external interference.
One of the models developed by the consultancy group is the Strategic Governance and Performance Management Office (SGPMO), which aims to:
- Measure institutional maturity levels.
- Identify gaps and develop reform methodologies.
- Elevate institutions to the required maturity levels.
This office operates at strategic, executive, and operational levels, which will be detailed in future articles.
Perspective 3: Smart Municipalities
The articles will discuss how to build and govern smart, leading municipalities, with a focus on multiple dimensions:
- Administrative, human, technical, financial, legislative, social, and environmental aspects.
- Mechanisms for partnering with the private sector to secure financial resources, accelerate project execution, and drive societal and state-level cultural advancements.
Perspective 4: The Charitable and Endowment Sector
The series will explore the governance of the third sector (charitable and endowment organizations) to activate its role in society, focusing on:
- Empowering youth and families economically.
- Developing this sector to become a significant contributor to the national GDP.
Perspective 5: The Private and Family Business Sector
The articles conclude by discussing the private sector’s importance, the role of family businesses in contributing to societal and state-level cultural transformation, and how this vital sector can integrate with the state’s national vision.
Conclusion
This series addresses the methodologies for developing and building the five most vital sectors of the state, transforming them from sectors reliant on personal effort and individual vision into sectors driven by institutionalized work.
I hope this series serves as both a starting point for those seeking to build and a comprehensive guide for those seeking to refine their understanding of methodologies for building a strong, modern state.
