«In today's world, where we are surrounded by vast amounts of information, effective governance can only be built using digital technologies. They allow us to process data more quickly and make better decisions. Today, the Government is implementing a digital governance model that enables consistent improvements in the implementation of Presidential instructions, state programs, and national projects. This means building roads and opening new schools and hospitals on time. The Congress is a unique platform for exchanging experiences, receiving feedback, and demonstrating the most effective public administration technologies for various branches and levels of government», noted Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the Government Executive Office Dmitry Grigorenko.
The Congress program will be structured around six thematic areas covering key aspects of modern public administration: development of the state civil service, digitalization of public administration, regional and municipal practices, regulatory policy as a tool for reducing the administrative burden on business, the state for the people, and strategic management of priorities. Within these areas, discussions will cover both systemic issues of public administration reform and specific management decisions and models that have proven effective at the federal, regional, and municipal levels.
Special attention will be paid to young people within a special thematic track. According to Alexey Komissarov, Rector of the Presidential Academy, the upcoming event is largely aimed at addressing personnel issues and discussing the principles of professional growth in general: «...We are looking forward to a relevant discussion of the challenges facing the public administration system in the near future. We plan to discuss the key principles of training a new generation of specialists, those who will assume responsibility for the country's future».
The event is intended to become the main annual platform for professional dialogue, the exchange of experience, and training for managers, businesses, and experts focused on achieving specific, measurable results.
