Navigating National Transformation: The role of project managers in strategy implementation within the context of Saudi Vision 2030

Abstract

Project management is critical in attaining an organization’s goals and objectives. Its significant role requires project managers to implement processes that align with the organization’s business strategy. However, it is common for projects to fail due to misalignment between project management and strategy management. This study was conducted to examine the crucial role of project management in progressive and ambitious business practices, especially in the case of giga-projects. The research outlined Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 giga-project, exploring the importance of project managers and alignment between Project Management Offices (PMOs) and Strategy Management Offices (SMOs) for a successful project.
