Trends in the formation of lean management competencies in the context of corporate training of state and municipal employees

The formation of Lean management competencies in the training system of public  administration and local government is one of the most effective ways to increase labor productivity in state and municipal organizations. The introduction of Lean technologies contributes  to more productive and efficient work of state and municipal employees, in the system under study, a more difficult task is to change traditional thinking and approaches to the organization of  employees' work, which sometimes is a serious obstacle to the introduction of a lean approach  in management. Thus, the author considers the opinions of foreign experts who have a wide practice of introducing lean technologies into the management system. Special attention is paid to  the analysis of domestic experience in the implementation of the methodology of "lean manufacturing" and "lean management". The article substantiates the importance and features of the formation of competencies for the implementation of a lean approach in the practice of training state and municipal employees. The assumption is made that the environment and the modern tools of  a lean approach in management used in the training of state and municipal employees form a "lean way of thinking" among employees themselves. Based on the above, modern trends have been identified and recommendations have been proposed to improve the effectiveness of the approaches used for application in the system of corporate training of state and municipal employees.
