Abstract
Background: Businesses need to compete, adopt digital solutions, and increase resilience. McKinsey 7S model is one of the strategic tools that help to match an organization and its elements for the highest efficiency. It has been adopted worldwide, but its effects concerning digital transformation and competitiveness with Saudi enterprises, specifically within Vision 2030, are yet unknown.
Objective: The study aims to explore the distinctiveness of employing McKinsey’s 7S Model for advancing digital innovation and the organization of Saudi enterprises.
Methodology: The study used a quantitative research design utilizing a survey method. The data was gathered through self-completed questionnaires administered to a sample of managers in Saudi-based companies. The questionnaire reflected McKinsey model dimensions, Digital innovation and Organizational Agility. Descriptive and Pearson correlation tests were used, and data was analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
Results: The study findings showed evidence of the link between the McKinsey model implementation and improved digital innovation and organizational flexibility. Data showed that Saudi companies applying the McKinsey model were better at embracing innovative tools and responding to new conditions.
Conclusion: This study established that the McKinsey 7S model is an effective paradigm for facilitating innovation and dynamism among Saudi enterprises. Future research should investigate the operational challenges and potential cost-savings, where all the seven dimensions of the proposed model when implemented in the Saudi environment is concerned and associated with Vision 2030.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
