NXT Consulting Group is a Bangkok consulting firm that prepares strategic plans and government action plans for Thai government agencies, public organizations and state enterprises. Our plans link to the National Strategy, the master plans under it and the National Economic and Social Development Plan, carry indicators and named owners that can be tracked, and break down into annual action plans.

Work delivered under the NXT name includes a five-year strategic plan with performance and economic impact evaluation for ETDA, a five-year strategic and action plan and a competency framework for a ministry, organization restructuring for a state enterprise, and customer satisfaction research for a state-owned bank. NXT is registered as a juristic-person consultant with the Ministry of Finance's Consultant Database Center in the Research and Evaluation (RE) field.

FAQ

Questions agencies ask us

What must a five-year government action plan align with? Section 16 of the Royal Decree on Criteria and Procedures for Good Governance (No. 2) B.E. 2562 (2019) requires each government agency to prepare its action plan as a five-year plan consistent with the National Strategy, the master plans, the national reform plans, the National Economic and Social Development Plan, the Cabinet's policy statement to Parliament and other relevant plans. In practice, agencies break the five-year plan into annual action plans for each fiscal year.
When should agencies start on the 2028–2032 (B.E. 2571–2575) cycle? Many agencies' current five-year action plans cover B.E. 2566–2570 (2023–2027), and the NESDC is drafting the 14th National Economic and Social Development Plan for B.E. 2571–2575. Agencies should start reviewing the results of their current plan and following the direction of the 14th Plan now, so the next plan links to the national plans from the start.
Is NXT registered with the Consultant Database Center? Yes. NXT is registered as a juristic-person consultant in the Research and Evaluation (RE) field with the Consultant Database Center of the Public Debt Management Office, Ministry of Finance. Agencies can check the registration in the consultant search at consultant.pdmo.go.th.
How long does a strategic planning project take? Typically 2–10 months, depending on the number of sub-units, how much of the previous plan must be evaluated, and the number of stakeholder consultation rounds. We fix scope, instalments and deliverables in the proposal so the work can be accepted against the TOR.
How are the agency's own officers involved? We work with the planning division or working group throughout, through executive interviews, workshops and consultations, and hand over a manual and indicator-tracking tools so officers can review the annual plan themselves.
How can a government programme be evaluated? It depends on the question: output and outcome indicators against the plan, service-user satisfaction surveys, economic impact assessment, or a Social Return on Investment (SROI) assessment following Social Value International guidance, which values social outcomes in money terms against the budget spent.

Answers summarise the law and common practice; actual scope follows each agency's TOR.
