What is the service/product?
The product is a book titled The Science of Execution (علم التنفيذ: كيف نحول الاستراتيجيات من الورق إلى الواقع), published by IDM and sold on store.idm.sa. It presents a complete methodology for converting written strategies into measurable outcomes, developed from field application across multiple sectors. The content is rooted in the Saudi environment and reinforced with global examples, targeting executives and ambitious organizations. The book addresses the recurring problem of strategies that never leave paper, offering a structured approach rather than general advice.
Who needs it?
The book is written for executives, managers, and leaders in organizations where strategic plans exist but execution stalls. It suits ambitious organizations in Saudi Arabia and beyond that need a methodology adapted to the local business environment rather than imported frameworks. Readers who prioritize implementation over documentation will find the content directly relevant, as the book targets those who value action over words. Procurement teams evaluating reference material for leadership development can consider it for decision-makers responsible for turning goals into results.
What problem does it solve?
It solves the execution gap: organizations set goals and write strategies, but results do not follow because the plans remain on paper. The book provides a diagnosis method for what it calls strategy disease, helping leaders identify why execution fails before prescribing fixes. By addressing local organizational habits and cultural factors, it tackles issues that generic international books overlook. The outcome is a practical path from written strategy to tangible results, reducing wasted planning effort and unrealized targets.
How does IDM deliver it?
IDM delivers the book as a purchasable publication through its online store at store.idm.sa. The buyer selects the title, completes the transaction on the store, and receives the book in the format offered by the store (the knowledge does not specify digital or print). There is no consulting engagement or workshop included; the delivery is the book itself, which contains the methodology for self-application. Organizations can procure copies for their leadership teams directly from the store without a separate service agreement.
What are the deliverables?
The deliverable is the book The Science of Execution, containing a complete execution methodology. Inside, the reader receives a diagnostic framework for identifying symptoms of strategy disease, a set of execution values to guide behavior, and case examples from global contexts with Saudi-specific relevance. The book also includes a component on using artificial intelligence to support achievement, as stated on the store page. No additional templates, software, or consulting hours are mentioned; the book is the standalone artifact.
When should an organization use it?
An organization should use the book when it observes that strategic plans are approved but not implemented, or when key performance indicators remain flat despite planning effort. It is also relevant during annual strategy reviews, when leadership teams need a common execution language before launching new initiatives. Saudi organizations facing pressure to deliver Vision-related projects or government transformation targets can apply the methodology to move from paper to reality. The book is not time-bound; it serves as a reference whenever execution stalls.
What alternatives exist?
The store page does not list competing titles, so a direct feature comparison is not available from the provided knowledge. In general, organizations might consider generic international books on strategy execution or hire management consultants, but those alternatives are not localized to the Saudi context as this book claims to be. Another alternative is relying on internal strategy documents and project management templates, which often lack a diagnostic method for why execution fails. The book positions itself as a localized methodology, which is a differentiator against imported frameworks that may not account for Saudi organizational context.
What differentiates IDM?
IDM differentiates this book by grounding the execution methodology in the Saudi environment rather than offering a translated international framework. The content combines field application across multiple sectors with global examples, giving it both local relevance and external validation. As a publication from a Riyadh-based consultancy serving enterprises and government, the book reflects IDM's practical orientation toward turning strategies into results. The store page emphasizes that it is written for those who believe action is nobler than words, signaling a bias toward implementation over theory.
