Project management – 2018: State, Digital Economy, Infrastructure – International Conference, Ulyanovsk, July 3-5, 2018
The International Conference “Project Management – 2018: State, Digital Economy, Infrastructure” will take place on July, 3-5, 2018 in Ulyanovsk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulyanovsk_Oblast).
The current stage in the development of Russian society and the economy is characterized by significant changes in approaches to management – at the level of solving particular problems, at the level of particular enterprises, at the level of regional and federal authorities. More attention is paid to project management, which is transforming from a highly tailored professional tool to a common methodological platform for improving management practices on a national scale.
One of the main priorities today is the large-scale introduction and professional use of the project approach when implementing federal, departmental and regional priority projects. In the conditions of increased requirements to the value of ultimate results, the role of professional project management methods increases when implementing major infrastructure and industrial projects.
The overriding priority of the modern Russian economy is its digital transformation. “Digits” provide tremendous opportunities to increase efficiency, both for business and government institutions. However, changing the organization requires serious tension and time, concentration of efforts and managerial talents. Project management is the driver that can dramatically improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these changes.
The issues to discuss at the conference will cover the most significant trends of modern project management: the use of agile management practices, the development of organizational and personal competencies in project management, adoption of specialized management technologies in engineering, construction, public and social projects. The reports on different topics will highlight not only common approaches and methods, but also extensive practices of their employment.
The conference program includes presentations and master classes by leading Russian and world experts in the field of project management. Participants will get acquainted with the best practices of project approaches adoption and projects implementation by meeting with the winners of the “The Best Project of the Year” nomination in the “Project Olympus 2018” contest.
The conference is organized by the Ulyanovsk Region Government represented by the Governor, the Russian Project Management Association SOVNET, the International Project Management Association IPMA, the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation and Ulyanovsk Region Corporate University.
The representatives of the nuclear, aviation, automotive and other industrial clusters of the Volga region, the Russian Federation governmental authorities, constituents of the Russian Federation and business will participate in the conference. More than 200 people are expected to attend the various conference activities.
