Abstract: This review article is an attempt to create high performance (HP) value in public sector organisations (PSO) of Pakistan to pursue Vision Pakistan 2025, a prosperous middle-income nation by 2025. To achieve this goal, Pakistan needs strong organisations with high performance (HP) for building strong economy. PSO of Pakistan came across with an important and challenging question of 'How PSO could be transformed into high performance public organisations (HPPO)?' At the same time, this article proposes application of resource based view (RBV) and dynamic capability theory for future research investigations to explore HP strategies in the context of Pakistan and also in other developing countries. This paper also proposed application of high performance organisation (HPO) framework as a survey tool through explanatory sequential design of mix methodology to diagnose the performance status of the organisations, identifying the weaknesses and strengths of the organisations, developing strategies to transform the organisations into sustainable HPPO to provide quality services to the public.

Keywords: high performance public organisations; HPPO; HPO framework; vision Pakistan 2025; developing countries.
