Roberto Wyszkowski, Partner for the Public Sector at Sia Partners Middle East Hub, explains why a clearly defined transformation purpose is critical to success.

Over the past two decades, government entities in the Middle East have shifted from foundational institution-building to outcome-driven, customer-centric digital services. What began as a phase of setting direction and assembling teams has matured into a new era of public sector innovation, where governments are not just adopting digital tools but rethinking service delivery, operating models, and citizen engagement.

According to Roberto Wyszkowski, Partner, Public Sector – Middle East Hub at Sia Partners, the region has reached a pivotal moment. “We see organizations that are right-sizing, being more efficient, and focusing on transactional services more similar to the private sector,” he said. 

In this interview Wyszkowski also discusses:

  1. What makes or breaks a successful digital transformation within a government agency?
  2. How AI, automation, and data science are reshaping public sector delivery

As public sector transformation accelerates, clarity of purpose and cross-government collaboration have emerged as key differentiators in the Middle East. While digital tools continue to evolve, the real impact lies in how governments define, deploy, and sustain transformation.
