After a long time I had a thought or a line of thoughts that I wanted to pen out ...
So it all started with me wondering what would make for an effective target for customer base..which led to what I would think if I were to grow a country and take it to the next level. How do I survive the current environment and be ready for the ambiguous future?
Would I think of the present and consider what investments I need to make to make the current abundance to the best possible profit? aka Resource Utilization
OR
Do I think of the future and think of the issues I will face when I run out of current resources which are now in abundance but might not be in future? aka Future Planning
OR
Do I think about how best to make of the current scarce resources so that I reach an equilibrium and do not depend on anyone for my future and present? aka Strategic Independence
What led me next to the though that any planning on a country level has to consider all the above and maintain a fine equilibrium with the current financing the future but not getting too late for the future.
This might seem very 'common sense' to most people but it was definitely new to me as it was simple and out there in front of me..waiting for me to discover this..
Let us look at it from Mid East level...
What does Mid East have in abundance..
a) Oil
b) Diversity of people
What are the consequences
a) Energy abundance
b) Collective Intellect
What does Mid East have in scarcity
a) Water
What are the consequences:
a) Food import due to scarcity
So what are the Verticals that an organization needs to concentrate on in current state as well as be in line with future
a) Oil & Gas
b) Energy
c) Training & Education
d) Agriculture & related industries
Now for each one of them there is a set of applications that can be easily mapped at a very high level for the requirements
a) Oil & Gas - Integration of multiple applications viz Fusion Middleware, Transportation of material viz OTM, Energy distribution to consumers i.e. Utilities
b) Diversity of People - Training and education of the existing and coming generations i.e. PeopleSoft Campus Solutions.
c) Water - Agriculture related planning and operations i.e. JD Edwards Grower management, Water distribution i.e. Utilities
The next step for any country or region is that every resource is getting consumed at a higher rate than at which it is being replenished. So all countries in general go by the common thought of shifting their economies from manufacturing/producing to services.
This in turn relates to getting a smart population to service the next generation in the immediate future and satisfying their requirements by making the current environment futuristic. hence the requirement for a connected world which feeds the egos of the upwardly mobile and Generation Z who will contribute to the economy. This in turn will lead to IoT at all levels and all services and activities of the government being showcased on a transparent level across all channels!!
The one major backbone to the entire set of planning and execution is a world class infrastructure that will support the operations of the present and be ready for the fast moving future!
