In 2015, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia launched Vision 2030, an ambitious reform plan aimed at diversifying the economy by moving away from oil and encouraging the development of stronger private and public sectors. The plan streamlined and centralized decision-making to ensure better coordination between ministries and implemented a distributed program-management model to monitor execution.
Looking at the typical pattern of government reforms, Saudi has accomplished important milestones in a relatively short period of time: the direction has been set, the public administration has been aligned and communication channels have been put in place. The Vision's realization now rests on the commitment and operational capabilities of Saudi government entities.
