The director believes that the most valuable strategic resource is knowledge, "know-how" and exclusive experience that the organization has accumulated over the years. In his opinion, the external relations of the Sports Committee of Ukraine are not homogeneous. On the one hand, there are excellent relations and cooperation with the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, the Olympic Academy of Ukraine, and on the other hand, there is cooperation with individual federations of sports which is not as effective as expected.
It was also marked the excellent relationships with a number of academic institutions, for example, the National University of Physical Education and Sport of Ukraine, Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture, Sumy State Pedagogical University named after A.S.Makarenko. The Vice-President of the Sports Committee of Ukraine, O.Mandrik noted about the volunteering activity of educational institutions and sports federations and so on.
