DIGITIZATION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: EVOLUTIONARY PATH AND FURTHER POSSIBILITIES

Abstract

The article clarifies the practical orientation of the concept of "information" and its definition in the field of managerial activity. The content and directions of using information according to the stages of the evolutionary movement are determined. Evidence is provided that the ongoing changes in the digital improvement of methods, technologies and methods of state administration, the pace of its implementation have not yet sufficiently contributed to the timely and high-quality design of management activity processes. Insufficient digital maturity of the authorities leading the processes of digital transformation was revealed in terms of theoretical and methodological, practical digital transformations and the sequence of implementation of the stages of their construction directly in the authorities themselves. An in-depth study, establishment of dependence and compliance with the logical sequence of implemented measures and stages of digital transformation are proposed. The evolutionary path of the formation of the digital transformation of society and its direct focus on changing the quality of state management processes on the part of the executive authorities is considered by stages (information-virtual, digitization, digitalization, digital transformation and electronic governance), by their logical appearance, close connection and successive enrichment, which are considered in the course of the continuous flow of their development. The necessity of applying the system of knowledge of various sciences and taking into account the real capabilities of the state regarding their systematic application based on the current state of digital development and innovative development of state management processes is shown. It is proven that the basis of the development of digital transformation should be formed on the results of the content analysis of the actual state of digital maturity of management processes, the justification of the types of necessary progressive changes that reveal the shortcomings of their technical, methodical, scientific-legislative, organizational and innovative development. A list of directions for improvement, substantiation, and design of transformation processes during coordination of plans, measures, and processes of strategic and current plans for the implementation of the National Informatization Program of Ukraine is proposed.
