Strategy is a set of decisions. We help leadership teams make them well — and see them through.

Built for boards and executive teams, FRESME’s consultancy practice takes on the questions that shape an organisation: where to compete, how to operate, how to organise, what to build and what to buy. We pair structured problem-solving with hands-on delivery for organisations in Saudi Arabia — and because FRESME also builds enterprise technology, a recommendation doesn’t have to stop at the report.

  1. i.

    Question first

    We start from the decision you need to make, then choose the method — never the other way round.

  2. ii.

    Built with the people who will run it

    Recommendations are shaped alongside your teams, so they are owned from day one.

  3. iii.

    Through to delivery

    We stay involved through implementation and hand over working routines, not just reports.

05From advice to deliveryFRESME Consultancy

Advice that can carry through to delivery.

FRESME is also a technology company. When a recommendation depends on a system — an ERP, a payments platform, an ESG reporting process — the same organisation can help build it, so the intent behind the design isn’t lost at hand-off. And when the best answer is someone else’s product, we’ll say so.

Ask a question

Eight practices: AIVA (AI-native advisory), Strategy & Planning, Operational Excellence, Digital Transformation, Organisational Design, PMO & Project Governance, M&A & Business Advisory, and Financial Consultancy (outsourced accounting and reporting). An engagement can draw on one practice or several, depending on the decision in front of you.

With a conversation about the decision you are facing. We then propose an approach, scope and timeline — usually starting with a short diagnostic — so you can decide whether to proceed before any larger commitment.

It depends on the question. A focused diagnostic can be completed in weeks; a transformation programme runs over several months. Scope, milestones and leadership review points are agreed before work starts.

Yes. We help leadership teams connect their strategy, initiatives and KPIs to the Vision 2030 programmes relevant to their sector, and build the governance to track progress. FRESME is an independent consultancy: we do not represent any government programme and cannot grant approvals.

No. Recommendations are based on what fits your organisation. FRESME also builds ERP, FinTech, ESG reporting and ICT solutions, so when one of them is the right fit the same organisation can carry the work into delivery — but it is not a condition of the advice.

AIVA is FRESME’s AI-native advisory practice. It helps organisations find where AI is already in use, decide which use cases are worth pursuing, put policy and oversight in place, and build priority use cases with FRESME’s engineering teams.

Yes. Our organisational design practice helps with workforce planning and localisation roadmaps that take Nitaqat targets into account alongside capability needs. Nitaqat classification is determined by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development; we help you plan for it and do not certify compliance.

Management consultancy in Saudi Arabia

Read moreShow less

For Saudi owners, boards and family businesses that are growing faster than their structure, and need an outside team to frame the decision and see it through. A typical call from Riyadh or Jeddah starts with "we know what is wrong, we cannot agree what to fix first".

  • Vision 2030 in your choices

    We look at how national programmes and sector shifts change your market, and build that into strategy, structure and investment priorities.

  • Family business and succession

    Governance, roles and decision rights that let founders and the next generation work together without stalling the business.

  • Strategy that reaches the systems

    Plans end as KPIs, dashboards and workflows. FRESME engineers can build them in Tadbir ERP or around your current tools.

  • Arabic and English workshops

    Leadership sessions and documents in both languages, so the whole management team works from the same page.

How companies here use it

  • A family group in Jeddah

    Three businesses under one owner family: a group structure, clear roles for the next generation and one monthly review.

  • A growing retailer in Riyadh

    Every new branch adds chaos. We fix reporting lines, branch routines and the numbers management sees each week.

  • A contractor in Dammam

    Projects run in spreadsheets. We agree an operating model, then put project tracking and approvals on one system.

Questions

  • What does a management consultancy do for a Saudi company?

    It helps leadership make a specific decision well: where to compete, how to organise, which processes to fix, what to invest in. We start from the question, agree the scope in writing and stay through delivery.

  • Which management consulting firm is best in Riyadh or Jeddah?

    Ask who will actually do the work, whether recommendations are shaped with your teams, and whether the firm can build what it recommends. FRESME combines consultants and in-house engineers, so a plan can end as KPIs, dashboards and workflows in Tadbir ERP or your current tools.

  • Do you work with family-owned businesses?

    Yes. Many of our conversations are with family owners who want clearer roles, a roadmap and a management rhythm. We work on governance, roles and decision rights so founders and the next generation can work together without stalling the business, in Arabic and English.

  • How much does consultancy cost?

    The cost depends on scope and on how much delivery support you want. After a first conversation, FRESME sends a written proposal with the cost of each stage, so you know what the diagnosis, the plan and the rollout each cost before you commit.

  • Do you have an office in Saudi Arabia?

    Yes. Our offices are in Riyadh and Jeddah, and we work with companies in every Saudi city, on site when a project needs it. We reply within 2 hours.

  • Where is our data stored?

    FRESME is PDPL compliant and runs its own servers in Saudi Arabia, so your data can stay in the Kingdom.
