The article discusses issues related to the implementation of modern transformational development technologies in the field of reforming local self-government through the formation of capable united territorial communities. The article claims that today in Ukraine the first evolutionary stage of voluntary community unification has already been passed and now Ukraine is moving on to the next stage - community unification by the principle of ability. This second stage of decentralization involves a radical reduction in the number of districts through the unification and creation of new capable administrative and territorial units at the subregional level. This necessitates a change in the functions of local governments from the implementation of the existing external strategy, to structures that independently develop strategies and tactics, and are responsible for their decisions to the residents of the communities. The role and specific features of capable united territorial communities, as public law units that have all the necessary resources to solve local issues provided for by law, are described. It is proved that strategic goals require a systematic, step-by-step technology for the development and implementation of both strategic and tactical levels. However, among specialists from local economic development, certain gaps in understanding how to turn strategies into tactical development plans through projects and programs have been identified. Although project management has all the necessary tools to create mechanisms for implementing the developed strategy. It is the lack of knowledge on the practical application of well-known project management tools, which causes failures in the implementation of strategies. The article notes that the failure in the developed strategy implementation can be due to both shortcomings in the development of the strategy itself and errors in the development of tactical measures for its implementation. Highlighted shortcomings in the training of project competencies of persons related to the development of program-targeted documents in the newly united territorial communities. The development of transformational tools for united territorial communities through the integration of strategic planning and tactical project management is proposed.

The article deals with the issues related to the implementation of the sustainable development methodology in the field of state administration. The article states that the World scientific community has long questioned the expediency of development, in the centre of which there is only material production. This causes the need to change the whole paradigm of human development – from the ideology of accumulation of material wealth and competition for resources, to the ideology of reasonable sufficiency and mutual assistance. It is considered human achievements in the sustainable development management, which have already been sufficiently worked out in the specialized publications on public administration. It is substantiated that strategic goals require a systematic, step-by-step technology for the development and implementation of relevant programs/projects to achieve strategic goals, which are carried out in accordance with recognized regulations and techniques. Based on the general management theory of system development, a systematic approach to the implementation of the development strategy is considered and the main principles of strategy implementation at the tactical level are given. The research emphasizes that at the tactical level in project management, there are all the necessary tools to create a mechanism for implementing the developed strategy. It is precisely that the lack of application of all known project management tools causes dissatisfaction of the public with regard to the implementation of the strategies. Failure of the developed strategy implementation may be due to two main reasons: the first - the disadvantages of the strategies themselves, the second is the lack of tactical measures to implement the strategy. The shortcomings of strategic planning and the lack of effective mechanisms for managing sustainable development, which are the consequences of incomplete using of project management methodology in the system of public administration in Ukraine, are highlighted. It is proposed to monitor the practical implementation of the sustainable development strategy in Ukraine taking into account combining of strategic and tactical project management.

Abstract The aim of this article is to describe inter government relations resulted from disorganized political change from Autocratic political system to the Democratic one. This purpose is described through a challenge against Governor’s moratorium policy in 2010 made by three Heads of Districts within the province of Bali over the issuance of principle of building permit of new hotels and tourist accomodations. The method by which this research is conducted is exploratory. The research found that the problems of coordination in the policy emanate from a radical change in politics and government from centralised to decentralised government and termination of President Soeharto from the office. The un-coordinated political transition at the national level being faced by Indonesia has brought about serious problems on coordination of inter government institutions of the local governments. In effect, to the large extent, the performance of local governments -as it has been the case in the province of Bali-is contra productive in fulfilling societal needs of public services as well as local-economic development.

Project management is an autonomous discipline that is applied to a huge diversity of activity sectors and that has evolved enormously over the last decades. International Development Cooperation has incorporated some of this discipline’s tools into its professional practice, but many gaps remain. This article analyzes donor agencies’ project management approaches in their funding mechanisms for projects implemented by non-governmental organizations. As case study, we look at the Spanish decentralized donor agencies (Spanish autonomous communities). The analysis uses the PM2 project management methodology of the European Commission, as comparison framework, to assess and systematize the documentation, requirements, and project management tools that non-governmental organizations need to use and fulfill as a condition to access these donors’ project funding mechanisms. The analysis shows coincidence across donors in the priority given to project management areas linked to the iron triangle (scope, cost, and time) while other areas are mainly left unattended. The analysis also identifies industry-specific elements of interest (such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals) that need to be incorporated into project management practice in this field. The use of PM2 as benchmark provides a clear vision of the project management areas that donors could address to better support their non-governmental organization-implemented projects.

Major Factors

Projects are considered crucial building blocks whereby organizations execute and implement their short-, mid-, and long-term strategic visions. Projects are thought, developed, and implemented to solve problems, drive change, satisfy unique needs, add value, and exploit opportunities, just to name a few objectives. Although existing project management tools and techniques aim to deliver projects with success, according to the latest reviewed literature, projects still keep failing at an impressive pace. Among the extensive list of factors that may threaten project success, several articles from the research literature place particular importance on a still underexplored factor that may strongly lead to unsuccessful project delivery. This factor—usually known as corporate behavioral risks—usually emerges and evolves as organizations work together to deliver projects across a bounded period of time, and is characterized by the mix of formal and informal dynamic interactions between the different stakeholders that constitute the different organizations. Furthermore, several articles from the research literature also point out the lack of proper models to efficiently manage corporate behavioral risks as one of the major factors that may lead to projects failing. To efficiently identify and measure how such corporate behaviors may contribute to a project’s outcomes (success or failure), a heuristic model is proposed in this work, developed based on four fundamental fields ((1) project management, (2) risk management, (3) corporate behavior, and (4) social network analysis), to quantitatively analyze four critical project social networks ((1) communication, (2) problem-solving, (3) advice, and (4) trust), by applying the theory of social network analysis (SNA). The proposed model in this work is supported with a case study to illustrate its implementation and application across a project lifecycle, and how organizations can benefit from its application.

Purpose – Higher education institutions have used more and more project management tools to run development projects to create new professional postgraduate programs. The purpose of this research was to propose an adaptive project management model for creating a professional doctoral course in Business Administration, in order to fulfill the goals established by CAPES.Design/methodology/approach – For such, the qualitative approach was favored with the adoption of the single case study method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with academic coordinators who are experts in the field in addition to the gathering of documents, thus using data triangulation to explore the phenomenon. The analysis of primary data and the analysis of documents from the Coordinating Agency for Advanced Training of Graduate Personnel (CAPES) served as inputs for analyzing and interpreting the results.Findings – As a result, we developed an adaptive project management model with the following characteristics: a) constant planning of activities, occurring in every cycle of interactions; b) iteration using short activities, allowing for more control of the project; c) validations performed continuously to ensure the goals proposed by CAPES are reached; and d) adaptable to change of scope during the execution phase of the project life cycle.Research limitations/implications – Among the limitations of the study is the lack of other studies related to the use of adaptive project management methodologies for developing postgraduate programs. And for future researches, we point out the need for applying the proposed model, to verify its efficacy and adherence to the development of a professional doctoral course.Originality/value – This study contributes to the academy by highlighting the need for project management as a tool and technique for the development of stricto sensu professional graduate programs. In this way, HEIs will be able to use a model of adaptive project management practices to achieve the objectives proposed by the CAPES evaluation process. As a result, HEIs are strengthened in the management, control and monitoring of the progress of their programs.
