Towards the Forum
In anticipation of the Strategic Planning Leaders Forum 2020 and in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Resource Centre for Strategic Planning under Leontief Centre, the project “20 Years of Uniting Strategists” has been launched. The project will help strategic planning consultants to effectively respond to the challenges of the current economic crisis exacerbated by the pandemic and to prepare to reconsider the existing regional and municipal strategies that are no longer relevant.
The project concept has gained support at the online meeting called “Towards the Strategic Planning Leaders Forum” held on 29 April 2020. The working group has been created, composed of representatives from the Higher School of Economics, the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, the Leontief Centre – AV Group Consortium.
The project includes a number of events:
- Series of webinars “Strategic Planning Before and After 2020” (rus)
- Collection of articles “Strategic Planning Leaders 2020” (rus)
- Round table – contest “Technology ≠ Pattern” at the Strategic Planning Leaders Forum (rus)
The Resource Centre for Strategic Planning under Leontief Centre (RCSP) was founded in 2000 in response to requests to study a brand new planning technology. That technology was fully applied by the Leontief Centre in 1996-1997 when developing the Strategic Plan for St. Petersburg, the first city strategy in Russia. In 2000, City Strategies Club was founded, a website was launched, and “Territorial Strategic Planning” series were first published.
The RCSP’s mission has remained unchanged throughout these 20 years: improving the quality of strategic planning and management at the federal, regional and municipal levels.
