Abstract

The article describes the Russian experience in the implementation and development of the project approach in the public administration system at the federal and regional levels. The authors characterize the two-level institutional design of the project management system in the Russian Federation in the form of strategic design and project management. At the same time, the authors note that the greatest variability and riskiness is represented by the project management subsystem, which at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation has a poly-variate character. Based on the results of the empirical study, the authors have identified the factors of an institutional and subjective nature that affect the success of the implementation of project management in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The authors also describe a set of resources for the development of a project approach in regional authorities and local self-governments of the Russian Federation: political and administrative, socio-economic, communication-network, personnel.

Highlights

The Russian Federation, as many modern states, is going through a round of administrative reforms aimed at creating new qualities of the administrative management system through the introduction of a project approach
Its implementation laid the foundations for a new managerial ideology, capable of changing the principles of making management decisions to achieve the priority goals of social development, and the nature and style of management activities associated with the formation of an innovative culture and a qualitatively different personnel potential of civil servants of the Russian Federation
Among the empirical research methods, the authors used the traditional analysis of documents characterizing the state of the project management system in government bodies at the federal and regional levels of the Russian Federation: analytical and reporting materials, official documents presented on the official websites of the President of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation, the Scientific and Educational Center for Project Management of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, the autonomous non-profit organization Center for Assessment and Development of Project Management "Project Olympus"

Summary

Introduction

The Russian Federation, as many modern states, is going through a round of administrative reforms aimed at creating new qualities of the administrative management system through the introduction of a project approach. Its implementation laid the foundations for a new managerial ideology, capable of changing the principles of making management decisions to achieve the priority goals of social development, and the nature and style of management activities associated with the formation of an innovative culture and a qualitatively different personnel potential of civil servants of the Russian Federation. This method is widely used in business all over the world, as well as in public administration systems in Europe, North and Latin America, Australia, and the countries of the East. The practice of introducing project management into government bodies shows that the national context determines its organizational and sociocultural “setting”
