The Challenge
Validate & Implement Smart City Plan
The client, an IoT solution provider, took on a smart city project with the end-client, a growing metropolis in the Middle East. The project consisted of five digital workstreams, and the client sought support of a digital strategy consultant to validate and implement one of the workstreams βUrban Mobility and Transportation.β
Role of Consultport
Consultport proposed 5 strong candidates within 96 hours. The client interviewed all candidates and selected a former BCG Digital Ecosystems Project Lead with extensive experience working on smart city projects. The consultant started working for the client 1 week after the initial request.
Approach
Revising Strategic Plan
The consultant first engaged in discussions with senior management of the client to gain a clear understanding of the region’s strategic goals and expectations from the smart city plan. Afterward, he analyzed the current smart city plan to evaluate strategy alignment and feasibility for implementation.Β
Collaborating with the client, the consultant produced a refined version of the strategic plan to align the βUrban Mobility and Transportationβ workstream to the smart city plan.
Solution
Implementation Roadmap
Based on the revised strategic plan, the consultant developed a robust roadmap for several smart city initiatives.

Through the deployment of smart sensors and the use of data analytics to monitor traffic flow, practitioners could identify congestion points and optimize signal timings in real time.
Results
Pilot Program Success
The consultant conducted pilot programs for the proposed initiatives and saw positive results. For instance, the intelligent traffic management system significantly reduced travel congestion and lowered travel time of the residents.
