ERP readiness check
Eight questions on ownership, data, scope, and the first wave. A result — not another report.
Issue 01 · 2025
Recent years have seen a qualitative leap in artificial intelligence tools, enabling project managers to make more accurate decisions and complete tasks faster and with higher efficiency. Despite this progress, many organizations still treat AI as a marginal technical tool, ignoring its growing impact on reshaping the roles of project management itself.

Development planning in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is undergoing a qualitative shift at every level, driven by Vision 2030 and its realization programs. National, sectoral, and regional strategies have become the main instruments for steering development and reaching ambitious economic and social targets. That plurality, for all its value, creates a hard problem: keeping the levels coherent so they do not become separate islands or parallel tracks with no integration.

Many ERP programmes fail not because the platform is weak, but because the organization bought a system before deciding who owns the process, who closes the month, and which record is the single source. This report sets a practical maturity list and states what must be settled before a contract is signed.

Organizations treat government platforms as separate transactions, so residency stalls because insurance was not updated, and wages slip because Qiwa does not match Mudad. This report maps the dependencies, the shared documents, what stays inside, what can be delegated, and the limits of authority.

Leadership hears three names in the same meeting and asks to “apply for excellence” as if it were one product. The EFQM Model, the King Abdulaziz Quality Award, and ISO standards are different instruments. This report separates purpose, effort, and evidence, and sets an eighteen-month map so an entity does not apply for an award without a system.

In official language a mission is sovereign representation. In practice it is a service organization: queues, files, permissions, and handover between diplomats who rotate. This report breaks the journey from request to close, what a digital system should do, and what it must not do.

After the strategy is written, projects are opened, and dashboards are coloured, the question remains: who owns the figure if the project misses the target? This report extends the alignment discussion into an operating mechanism: how an initiative is bound to a portfolio, how fragmentation is priced, and which cadence stops three offices telling three stories.
Issue 08 · 2026
An entity sends project managers on accredited courses and is then surprised that the portfolio did not improve. Maturity is not an individual certificate. It is five capability axes measured at work: concepts, knowledge domains, skill, tools, and professional presence. This report states what is measured before training, and when the deficit sits in the system, not in the person.
