Regional growth point competition. The right project

The “Growth Points” competition is entering the home stretch

The competition for small and medium-sized businesses “Growth Points” continues. Those who are not yet participating can join the project - applications are accepted until October 15.

Let us remind you that the project of the publishing house “Soviet Siberia” “Growth Points”, organized jointly with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Entrepreneurship Development of the Novosibirsk Region, is aimed at discoveries. There are many promising and interesting small and medium-sized businesses in our region, which have something to be proud of. The competition is held in five sectors: agriculture, construction and decoration, trade and catering, services, medicine.

There are three nominations in each industry. The first is “Economic Breakthrough”. It will evaluate dynamically developing enterprises whose average annual revenue growth is at least 20 percent. In another nomination - “Young Director” - the contenders for victory will be heads of enterprises aged no more than 30 years, who, however, are so talented and in love with their business that they were able to bring their enterprises to a net profit. The third nomination is “Towards people”. It is clear that we are talking about a socially responsible business.

The winners will receive memorable diplomas, five certificates worth 50 thousand rubles for publication in 2018 in any of the fifteen media outlets of the Sovetskaya Siberia publishing house, five certificates for the right to become a guest of the special “Evening Conversation” section in the newspaper “Evening Novosibirsk”, gifts and prizes .

But even those who do not win this time will also benefit. After all, we talk about all the project participants on the pages of “Soviet Siberia”, “Evening Novosibirsk”, regional publications of the Novosibirsk region, as well as on the website www.vn.ru.

New companies are joining the “Growth Points” project. We asked them the traditional question: what does the competition give and why is it important to declare yourself at the regional level as often as possible?

Maxim Kostyuchenko, director of the Siberian Plant of Construction Mixtures Brozeks LLC, believes that it would be useful for the enterprise to once again be “highlighted” in the regional media.

— We supply our products to various regions of Russia. Three trucks leave for Novosibirsk every day, but it’s hard to compete with branded brands,” says Maxim Kostyuchenko. — Participation in the competition will help people understand that products made in our region can compete at the interregional and international level. We understand that in the market it is necessary to maintain both a brand and an acceptable price. It’s not easy, but we try to do both, and we’ve succeeded so far.

Natalya Lenchenko, public relations specialist for the Podorozhnik company, said that the company strives to participate in all city events and in the life of the city.

— We are trying to be part of Novosibirsk. Our inclusion in the “Growth Points” competition was dictated by the same desire - it’s interesting to look at others, to show ourselves. Even though we have gained market share, it is quite possible that someone else will know about us. The fact that we strive to make fast food healthier, we do not fry, we cook everything with gentle processing. That we care about people's health. I think this will be for the benefit of the city.

Participants of "Growth Points"
Artyom DEMIDOV, director of the Games in Reality group of companies:
- This is a very good project. I followed the competition for a long time, got acquainted with its terms and descriptions, and realized that I wanted to take part in this event. Our goal, rather, is not to make ourselves known more, given that the market for the services we provide is highly competitive. And it’s not about showing that we are better than others. We want to see what we ourselves are capable of, we want to assert ourselves, look at ourselves from the outside, and get assessed. Most likely, this is for ourselves - yes, we can.

Vadim KAZANTSEV, premium consultant of the consumer rights protection society “Quality Expert”:
“Our desire to participate in such a project is driven by an educational goal. Ordinary consumers are mostly insufficiently informed, poorly protected, and do not know their rights. Therefore, it is very important that they learn more, improve, and be aware of their legal opportunities to restore justice. So that they do not make mistakes, do not make hasty conclusions in situations in which they constantly find themselves. Therefore, we wanted as many people as possible to know about us so that they could take advantage of the knowledge we can provide in the future.

Svetlana GREBENSHIKOVA, director of the Strelinka recreation center, Maslyaninsky district:
— We read information that something similar was carried out last year. Recreation centers and other organizations in general made themselves known, notified the Novosibirsk region about the level to which they were able to rise, and talked about their results. Since we worked fruitfully last year and became “Leaders of Russia - 2016,” we wanted people to learn more about our base. We have developed corporate and family vacations; people come to us from all over Siberia. This serves to develop domestic tourism. We, like others, contribute to the development of the Novosibirsk region.

Jury members
Vyacheslav BRATSEV, Deputy Minister - Head of the Department for Regulation of the Consumer Market and Services of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Entrepreneurship Development of the Novosibirsk Region:
“Today the authorities are doing everything possible to make doing business attractive, accessible and prestigious. Creating a favorable business environment in the region and in each municipality is a key condition for the development of small and medium-sized businesses. Harnessing the potential for economic growth and innovativeness of small businesses seems extremely important for the modern Russian economy and its future. The regional competition “Growth Points” will be a good platform for disseminating experience in the use of organizational, financial and other technologies aimed at the development of small businesses, to promote the products and services of small enterprises to regional and interregional markets.

Igor RESHETNIKOV, Minister of Culture of the Novosibirsk Region:
“We became partners in the competition because it was a great idea. Novosibirsk should grow precisely due to these very points of growth - this project is very correctly named. Because if there are no points that we must support and encourage initiatives, then stagnation will set in and development will stop. And when it comes from the media, it immediately reaches the population. This should be in all spheres, and we want to ultimately adopt and transfer the idea of ​​“Soviet Siberia” to ourselves, to the sphere of culture, including implementing it here. We are for everything new and progressive.

In August 2017, the “Growth Points” program began in the network of libraries in the Central District of Moscow. Seven units were selected for the pilot part of the project, which will find a second life by May 2018. Libraries should become not only a place for lending and reading books, but also full-fledged cultural centers, points of attraction not only for residents of their area, but also for the entire city. Each of them will receive its own unique focus - from a social center to a multimedia platform.

For the second year in a row, the Resource Scientific and Methodological Center for Continuing Education of the State Budgetary Educational Institution “Sparrow Hills” is holding a regional competition of innovative projects and programs in the field of additional education for children. The competition is held in order to identify, disseminate and implement positive innovative experience in the field of additional education for children.

V.G. Igishev,
candidate of pedagogical sciences,
Deputy Head of RSMC NO
GBPOU "Sparrow Hills"

The main idea of ​​the competition was the exchange of experience between educational organizations and teams of authors, as well as the creation of a single platform (base) of the best innovative practices that were successfully tested and received high-quality results.

Assessing the effectiveness of educational practices carried out to identify the diversity of innovations in education and their public support. The attractiveness of such practices increases year by year, and the project activities of the teaching staff not only increase the prestige of the educational organization, but also bring additional resources, including financial ones.

The main goals and objectives of the competition:

• activation and support of innovative activities of educational organizations to update the content, technologies, methods and techniques of teaching and upbringing in the field of additional education for children;
• updating innovative results, solutions and products of educational activities;
• familiarizing the teaching community with effective innovative practices;
• exchange of experience in the development and implementation of innovative projects in the field of additional education for children;
• creating a platform for updating, exchanging experiences and introducing innovative educational solutions in the field of additional education for children.

Projects

The main resource for posting competitive projects was the website www.bm.prodod.ru. In total, during the collection of applications in the first year of the competition, 65 projects from 28 organizations in Moscow, of them:

• General education organizations – 50%
• Additional education – 21%
• Professional – 18%
• Research and production organization – 4%
• Associations – 4%
• Social centers – 3%

As part of the competition, 7 nominations were announced in which projects could take part:

• Management of the system of additional education for children;
• Non-formal education and educational leisure;
• Special educational needs of children and adolescents;
• Recreation and health improvement for children;
• Remote technologies;
• Pre-professional training;
• Network educational projects implemented in cooperation with various institutions and organizations;

It is worth noting that in the age of the Internet and online learning, not a single application was submitted in the “Distance Technologies” nomination, as a result of which the examination took place in 6 nominations.

The largest number of projects were submitted in the nomination “Non-formal education and educational leisure” - 26 works, which indicates an unconditional interest in developmental and training programs of all types and levels, implemented by all participants in the educational services market.

Expertise

The expert team of the competition consisted of prominent representatives of the Moscow education sector, both formal and informal sectors, candidates and doctors of science, representing organizations such as the Higher School of Economics (HSE), the Institute for the Study of Childhood, Family and Education of the Russian Academy of Education, the Moscow Innovation Agency, MIOO, Inlerno. Specialists from the Resource Scientific and Methodological Center for Continuing Education of the State Budgetary Educational Institution “Sparrow Hills” took part in the expert assessment of the projects. The maximum number of points that a submitted work could score is 30 points. The average score for competition entries was 23.4 points. There were no frankly weak works and the leadership was tight.

Before evaluating applications for participation in the competition, experts had to familiarize themselves with the documents of the competition and the project application and evaluate the application for participation in the competition personally in the information system, accessed through the official website of the Resource Scientific and Methodological Center for Continuing Education.

Issues

The main issues of the “Growth Points” competition were reflected in the distribution of applications by category. In terms of popularity, as already noted, the most popular topic was non-formal education and educational leisure, and the least popular was distance education technology. From which we can conclude that the distance education system in the field of additional education in Moscow is underdeveloped or that these projects and teams of authors find other niches for PR and professional self-expression. The problem area can be considered the lack of stable knowledge both in the field of general project management culture and the lack of experience in writing project applications. During the face-to-face round of the competition, some competitors had a noticeable lack of experience in public speaking in the format of defending ideas and projects, which affected the rating of projects.

Prospects

Based on the results of the examination, the finalist projects of the “Growth Points” competition were included in, as well as the federal bank of best practices in the field of additional education.

Based on the above, we can draw a general conclusion that this competition should develop both in terms of the scale of participants and nominations, and be filled with educational events that accompany the competition. It is necessary to maintain the proper informational, methodological and organizational level of the competition to expand the range of participants and current innovations in the field of additional education for children in Moscow and the regions of the Russian Federation. Therefore, we propose to make the second competition open with the opportunity to join all the main participants in the process of providing additional education for children in Russia - managers of organizations, teams of authors, teaching staff.

The organizing committee of the competition for the 2017/2018 academic year proposes to include in the program nominations aimed at demonstrating, first of all, the information, expert and project management experience of organizations in the form of protecting the institution’s development program, public reports, general developmental programs for additional education of children and organizations’ websites. And also invites all participants to go through the following topics: “Project Management in an Educational Organization”, “Strategic Planning” and “Technologies for the Development of General Developmental Programs” with public defense of competitive programs and public reports at the main playground of the country in the Moscow Palace of Pioneers.
