On January 29, the project session "Improving labor productivity in Russian Universities" was held, the participants of which were divided into three groups:
1. Project session on developing solutions aimed at identifying and optimizing priority processes of the "external" circuit (regulatory framework, system constraints and requirements);
2. Project session on developing solutions aimed at identifying and optimizing priority processes of the "internal" contour (operational activities, search for internal efficiency);
3. Designing approaches to the formation and implementation of an industry-specific program to increase labor productivity in higher education.
The participants of the project session identified the main groups of processes in the external and internal circuits of universities, identified systemic problems in these processes, proposed possible solutions and metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of measures to improve the efficiency of processes, and proposed university proposals for an industry-specific program to increase productivity.
