Five-year plan: Focus → Scale → Transform

Control first. Scale what proves itself. Regionalize only after demand is real.

01

0–12 months

Focus & Control

  • Baselines
  • Roles & accountability
  • Opportunity monitoring
  • Delivery control
  • Core offers / pricing
  • Evidence / dashboards
02

Years 1–3

Scale & Differentiate

  • Best sectors
  • Pricing / utilization
  • Retained work
  • Project intelligence
  • Practical AI support
  • Staff development
03

Years 3–5

Transform & Regionalize

  • Recurring services
  • Regional channels
  • GCC offices if justified
  • Paid digital capability
  • Leadership succession

Do not prioritize now: unproven offices, ERP replacement, broad homeowner advertising under ECC, unnecessary fixed-cost specialists or technology without a clear commercial case.

The ask

Align compensation with growth responsibility and measurable results.

01

Base salary

SAR 25,000 per month.

02

Monthly growth incentive

A monthly percentage of the increase in company income compared with the same month last year. If there is no increase, there is no monthly incentive.

03

Year-end revenue incentive

An agreed percentage of total annual company revenue, payable at year end and subject to the agreed performance conditions.

04

Structure

Base salary + monthly growth incentive + year-end revenue percentage.

The fixed salary provides stability. The variable components align compensation with company growth and performance.
