Digital transformation guidance for senior government officials.

country or city tend to live in a self-reinforcing vicious cycle of exclusion from work; they also typically remain dependent on multiple uncoordinated welfare programmes. Members of these communities also face worsening physical and mental health conditions and are sometimes involved in criminal activities. Multiple government entities must therefore make great efforts to break this vicious cycle and ensure that disadvantaged groups absorb a greater share of public resources. National governments have a responsibility to embrace digitalisation to spur the economic progress of their countries. However, national governments should work closely with regional and local governments when doing so. In fact, IDC predicts that countries that can quickly move cities along their Smart City transformation journeys will have tremendous success in their digitalisation efforts. This is chiefly, because cities account for nearly 60% of the global population, 75% of global gross domestic product, and 75% of the energy consumption of an average country. This is even more true in Saudi Arabia, where over 80% of the population already lives in cities. As digitalisation becomes an important enabler of economic and social development, cities will play a fundamental role in achieving overall innovation, efficiency, and inclusion.
