The Ministry of Economy has identified priority areas for 2017 year

The mechanism for achieving goals in these areas will be project management.

The Project Office for the implementation of the Strategy of Socio-economic Development of the Omsk region continues its work. In accordance with the tasks assigned to it, five main stages of its work have been identified, two of which have already been completed.: "Assessment of the preliminary results of the Strategy implementation" and "Analysis "problematic sectors" and the directions of development". To date, the Project Office is in the process of developing a mechanism for its implementation, which is becoming project management.

«Project management – It's not a magic wand that we wave.ёm, we will launch projects, appoint managers, etc.ё it will play on its own. It is a tool to be more effective in difficult conditions that are dictated by economic and political conditions. Now we need to work not to fulfill the order, but to get results. No one guarantees that the project will lead to the expected goals, objective risks can make their own adjustments to the projects and, accordingly, the expected results. However, that's what makes working on a project different. – this is personal participation and ownership of the issue from the beginning of setting goals to the completion of the project, from the assignment – in which a process-based task is being performed, while the participants may change, and with this, a holistic understanding of the issue. The process is ending «working out the issue» and «with urgency», and the project reflects performance, personal effectiveness and teamwork within a set time frame.», - The Minister of Economy Oksana Fadina notes at the same time.

In December 2016 Regulatory legal acts regulating the activities of the Government of the Omsk region within the framework of project management were approved. According to the accepted documents, the project will be implemented by a project team, which is formed from government officials who perform certain roles in the project, and each department will have its own project office. Projects can be priority, internal and external. At the same time, all projects should be closely linked to the Socio-Economic Development Strategy in terms of their goals and objectives, and regardless of their level, they will become tools for its implementation.

«Plans may not work, they may undergo changes, and they need to be adjusted because the external environment is fluid. And when executing a project, the initiative of employees and a system are needed that would allow these active people to work and bring results. We won't be able to work the way we used to, and we shouldn't. After all, the Governor made it clear - either we change and develop, or we stay in place, and someone is welcome. Therefore, there is always a choice.», - Oksana Fadina emphasized.
