With over two million employees under its supervision, the Russian Ministry of State Properties in Moscow retains a controlling interest in a range of key Russian "blue chip" companies, including the National Electric Utility, as well as the National Rail Corporation. Because of its significant financial and political stake in these corporations, the Ministry recently brought in the Chicago Process Management Group (CPMG), a U.S. based expert on work process management, to identify ways to monitor as well as manage top management in their key utility and transportation sectors.

Dr. Gennady Konstantinov, head of the Corporate Governance Center of the Higher School of Economics, commented, "For any Board of Directors to be truly in charge of a company they need to see and understand the core reality of how the company operates. That’s why we brought in CPMG -- because they know the process of getting work done better than any other firm we know. And they have invaluable experience of working in the very complex Russian environment."
