The conventional series in powers of the coupling in perturbative QCD have zero radius of convergence and fail to repreduce the singularity of the QCD correlators like the Adler function at /alpha_s=0. Using the technique of conformal mapping of the Borel plane combined with the "softening" of the leading singularities, we define the set of new expansion functions which resemble the expanded correlator and share the same singularity at zero coupling. Several conformal mappings and ways of implementing the known nature of the first branch points of the Adler function in the Borel plane are investigated both in the CIPT and in the FOPT versions of the renormalization group resummation. We prove remarkable convergence properties of a set of new CI expansions and use them to determine the strong coupling from the hadronic tau decay width.
