project management system in the UAE: An evaluation of the smart services of government
organization in Abu Dhabi”.
Introduction
Overview
According to, Al-Jenaibi, (2016) Digital Transformation has taken a critical role in
shaping the way the governments across the world are adapting to new opportunities and
different types of challenges. The market is filled with competition, cost and budget pressures
due to the changes in the demand of the citizens and the changes leads to sparking governments
all around the world to implement innovative ICT capabilities in order to drive the capabilities of
the governments to digital. The digital transformation of the government offices can lead to
better productivity and improved economical performance of the government as well as the
country. There have been extra efforts from the Middle East countries to transform different
cities into smart cities where different types of Governmental facilities are available in a
digitalized manner (Almuraqab & Jasimuddin, 2017). The national transformation of the Middle
East countries like Qatar, Kuwait, UAE and KSA identifies digital themes to be incorporated in
government activities in order to ensure high level of effectiveness in these activities.
The activities includes the likes of the Smart Government Activities, Smart classroom for
the future in Government schools, Smart official conferences, Smart sharing of information and
many more digital advances. According to, Alzaabi, Rizk & Mezher (2019) these technological
advances will surely help the Government offices in Abu Dhabi to produce mobility and positive
results that can transform the activities to proper researches. The following research will be
conducted to determine the ways of integration of project management in the governmental
systems of UAE (Efthymiopoulos, 2016). The research will be successful only when the
elements which will be selected in the research can be driven by means of rapid adoption and
well planned execution of the different kinds of digital programs that are to be integrated into the
project.
