Summary/Abstract: The article presents the concept of personnel strategic management, analyzes the models of personnel strategy design, and the compliance of Lithuanian local government with strategic requirements in development of agriculture and in alternative activities. The analysis covers two local government activity areas: 1) strengthening of rural communities and infrastructure development, and 2) improvement of agricultural training and consulting systems. The paper identifies the major personnel strategy implementation factors, which are measured according to four criteria: the understanding of the task, implementation speed, skills, and responsibility. The article recommends setting the criteria for evaluating the success factors of human resource strategy implementation, because every strategic goal can have different success factors and a different evaluation scale. The development of strategic requirements for organisation personnel and evaluation of organisation compliance with strategic requirements also have to be related to the criteria.

It is suggested to establish organisational values, which will be given priority in the future, and the methods for setting value parameters. It is recommended to design the system of individual and organisational goal matching.

Personnel responsibility is good in these areas, too. In most cases local government personnel understand the tasks of agricultural training and consulting. However, they lack skills; therefore, the implementation speed is only acceptable. In many cases, support for innovative business projects in rural areas is considered to be average according to all criteria. Local government personnel lack skills in facilitating the initiat
