This article presents the results of research into the possibility of adapting fl exible methods of project management to the organization of activities of public servants of the Russian Federation and recommendations on combined approaches. The objectives of this research: to identify special aspects of project management in the public service and to evaluate the possibilities for adapting fl exible methods of project management to the organization of activities of Russian public servants.The activities of the public service are becoming increasingly innovative and intelligent and, as a consequence, less predictable. These days the public authorities are not only customers in relation to third organizations, but they themselves act as the direct executors of projects in the elaboration of development programs and legislative initiatives in the framework of executingorders of the President, Government and the higher state authorities. In these circumstances, management principles of the PMBOK and similar standards, which are strictly formalized and require clear planning of processes, no longer work. When the problems are large-scale, technologies are known, and the resources are defi ned, classical design techniques work fl awlessly. But when any innovative goals are set, there may be high risk of exceeding budget funds and time; therefore in this case it is necessary to consider the feasibility of applying Agile-like technologies.Possibilities for the combination of tough methods (in terms of responsibility and formalization) and fl exible methods (in terms of goal-setting and continuity) of project management in the civil service were investigated using analysis of business processes and based on the results of a survey of the public servants participating in the implementation of certain tasks with respect to execution of public functions. It is noted that in contrast to the business-oriented organizations the government authorities are characterized by a signifi cantly reduced motivation to informal leadership and undeveloped self-organization and selfmanagement. This fact imposes restrictions on the processes of implementing approaches of fl exible 1 This article was prepared based on the results of research carried with the support of government funds by the State Order of the University of Finance for the year of 2016 "Analysis of the best international practices of information support to realization of public functions.

The introduction of new management principles in public administration is in many countries linked to the introduction of client-orientation and evaluation by results. In this connection, a good deal of attention should be directed to raising the quality of work of public administration civil servants. This problem is inextricably bound with the task of raising the qualifi cations and competency level of workers in public administration. In this work, we present an analysis of the current situation in management of public administrations. We distinguish between the problems of managing the competences of public servants. As part of the research, we polled more than 365 public servants from the rank of specialist to chiefs of sections. We highlighted the competences in highest demand among public servants. These are general professional skills, regulatory-legal, competences of results orientation and work effi ciency. Least in demand were groups of competences such as change management, self-management and professional growth. The respondents also noted the high demand for renewal of their professional knowledge. However, there remains a problem with exchange of knowledge, when the knowledge received by employees in the best case turns up in conferences but mostly remains only for personal use and is not attached to a single carrier of information. We present proposals for applying an ontological approach to evaluation of the competences of public servants. The set of competences makes it possible with suffi cient precision to describe the work behavior which is required for successful performance of the work in the given position or in a group of similar positions. The application of ontologies makes it possible to link the task of evaluating competences through transformation of the enquiry into a set of terms and concepts with the concrete requirements of the project of the planned task or performed function. Computerization is one of the main components in the strategy for developing the public services. Creation of a system of decision MODELING OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

The paper presents an analysis of the current situation in the management of personnel of the civil service, discusses the problems of management of competencies and projects. The international and Russian experience is analyzed. More than 365 civil servants were interviewed in the framework of the study, from specialist to head of the Department. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are given to create a model of competencies of a public civil servant of the Russian Federation. The concept of flexible project management and information support of personnel management in the civil service is proposed, the digital panel of monitoring the effectiveness of public civil servants is described. The authors developed a set of indicators of the dashboard, the construction of which is allocated by the Government of the Russian Federation as a priority task. The set of indicators includes performance characteristics, performance of work on time and without overtime, team management, effective organization of the processes of execution of public functions, as well as the competencies of civil servants. The dashboard is built using the data Discovery data research tool. With the help of new data Discovery research technologies, the employees of the public service responsible for reporting on the organization and control of project works on the execution of state functions, without having technical knowledge, can study the data and apply not only descriptive, but also predictive Analytics.
