www.transport-community.org How far we have progressed in reforming the public sector over the 36 years of Lithuania's independence is particularly clear from the perspective of other countries with similar historical experience. This was also confirmed by Leaners partner Antanas Dubikaitis, who participated in a seminar in Chisinau on March 17-18, where he, together with other experts from Lithuania, shared practical knowledge with railway professionals from Moldova and Ukraine. “Despite the difficult situation in the region, these countries continue to integrate European Union requirements into their daily activities. The European Commission is purposefully continuing projects that help adopt the good practices of EU countries,” says Antanas. “I am happy to contribute to this activity, share knowledge about the practical application of EU railway rules, and at the same time inspire transport professionals to believe that change is possible.” www.transport-community.org The event covered a variety of topics: railway safety, technical compatibility of different railway systems, legislation and other relevant issues. Representatives of the Ministries of Transport of Moldova and Ukraine, railway safety authorities, investigative bodies and railway companies participated. The project is funded by the European Union to help Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia gradually integrate into the activities of the Transport Community. This is the second project in Moldova involving Leaners experts and the seventh, in which we help Ukraine. Learn more about the project here (EN).

Although the situation in Ukraine is critical due to the large-scale war, life continues in the country, as do the activities of public sector organizations. Leaners partner Robertas Šerėnas worked as an expert on 4 projects in Ukraine before the war, and on the 2nd during the war. This time he is consulting for the Kiev-based Project Management Group (SoE PMG), which administers projects implemented in Ukraine supported by international financial institutions.   “My task is to help this state-owned enterprise become more efficient and move from functional to procedural management,” says Robertas Šerėnas. “The scope of planned activities includes updating the institution’s vision, mission, and strategy, as well as standardizing processes, which we have already started with the Project Management Group team implementing the project. I am glad that I can use my knowledge and experience to help Ukrainians, who do not give up even in the most difficult conditions and continue to improve the public sector. After all, behind every project or organization there are simply people from whom I learn resilience, determination, and dedication to working for my country every time.”   This European Union project is coordinated by the Central Project Management Agency in Lithuania, which has extensive international experience. Experts from the organization development company Leaners , in cooperation with agencies in various countries, have already provided consulting services to 27 public sector organizations in 14 countries.

The geography of our projects is expanding to Montenegro - Leaners partners Antanas Dubikaitis and Robertas Šerėnas are starting work on a European Union-funded project here. It aims to strengthen the organisational capabilities of specialists in the transport sector of this country, increase operational efficiency and improve its results, as Montenegro prepares to join the European Union.   In this technical assistance project initiated by the European Commission, A. Dubikaitis and R. Šerėnas, together with other international experts, will advise representatives of the Ministry of Transport of Montenegro. Drawing on their long-standing experience in the transport sector and knowledge gained from consulting public sector organisations in various countries, they will prepare Montenegrin railway transport legislation in such a way that it complies with the requirements for railway transport in force in the European Union.   “International projects are one of the most important areas of our expert activity, which allows us to apply proven and truly effective management methods and discover new solutions needed for a specific country,” says Antanas Dubikaitis. “We always offer our clients insights that would best contribute to the creation of a culture of continuous improvement in their organisations and inspire them to transform into modern institutions that meet public expectations and the latest management trends.”   Leaners experts will work on the project of the Ministry of Transport of Montenegro from June to October this year.
