From Vision to Victory: How SPM Consultants Is Empowering the World’s Largest Entities to Build and Execute Winning Strategies

Introduction: When Excellence Meets Recognition


In the ever-evolving digital transformation landscape, recognition isn’t just a pat on the back—it’s a public declaration that an organisation is shaping the future. That’s why being named a winner in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Middle East & Cyprus program is more than an accolade for SPM Consultants—it’s a testament to years of innovation, relentless dedication, and tangible impact on the way organisations manage and execute strategy.


“This award reflects our unwavering commitment to helping our clients—from ministries to multinational enterprises—transform their strategic vision into measurable, sustained results.” — Mohammad Alwadi, Engagement Manager


For over a decade, SPM Consultants has been at the forefront of strategic performance management software, empowering some of the largest governmental, corporate, and NGO entities to move from ambition to execution with precision, speed, and clarity.



The Strategy Execution Gap: Why Vision Alone Isn’t Enough


Decades of research make it clear: strategy doesn’t fail in the boardroom—it fails in execution.


• Harvard Business Review reports that 67% of well-formulated strategies fail due to poor execution.
• McKinsey finds that 70% of large-scale transformation efforts fall short—often due to the same breakdown between vision and delivery.


Common execution pain points include:

  • Disconnected strategy and project execution teams
  • Lack of real-time visibility into progress and benefits
  • Decision-making slowed by fragmented data
  • Governance models unable to scale


SPM Consultants exists to close this gap.

Industry Perspective: Strategy Execution in the Digital Era


Harvard Business Review, PMI’s Pulse of the Profession, and Deloitte’s digital maturity research all point in the same direction:

  • Digital strategy execution platforms are now core infrastructure, not “nice-to-have” add-ons.
  • Digitally mature organisations are nearly three times more likely to report above-average profitability and revenue growth compared to less mature peers.
  • Organisations with advanced strategy management capabilities consistently outperform on delivery, benefits realisation, and stakeholder satisfaction.
