This study uses general scientific methods of cognition to consider strategic approaches to human potential development in various aspects. The study also uses the strategizing methodology developed by foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), PhD in Economics, Professor V.L. Kvint.Results. The share of human potential in the capital structure is determined. The highest human development index is observed in the Scandinavian countries, the USA, Japan, several developed countries of Western Europe, and the CIS. The development of human potential in Soviet and modern Russia is investigated. Differences in the application of the human potential index for Russian regions are identified. The need for the interconnection of programs at the international and national levels is established when preparing documents. The importance of human potential forecasting in the development of strategic documents at the regional level is emphasized. The people and the population’s quality of life are the most important factors in making any management decision.Conclusions. Creating the necessary infrastructure for the development of human potential will boost the economic growth of any region. When developing programs and plans for each Russian region, it seems appropriate to be guided by the mission, vision, goals, and objectives that make allowance for existing resources, including human potential.
