INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY FACTOR IN THE MODERNIZATION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Abstract

The article examines innovative development as a key factor in the modernization of public administration in the context of digital transformation. It is proved that digitalization is a driving force for the transformation of social, economic and administrative relations, contributing to the increase of efficiency, transparency and flexibility of management processes. It is noted that the intensification of the introduction of digital technologies into all aspects of public life is a defining feature of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (“Industry 4.0”), which is characterized by the universalization of information and communication technologies, automation of production processes and digital regulation of socio-economic, and administrative and management systems. The main tasks of digitalization of public administration in Ukraine are analyzed, including the development of integrated digital platforms, the development of a biometric identification system, the introduction of “big data” technologies for monitoring and evaluating efficiency, ensuring openness and accessibility of public institutions through electronic reception offices and multifunctional portals, as well as improving the regulatory and legal framework. Particular attention is paid to the web portal and mobile application “Diia” as an example of successful digital transformation. The strategic directions of modernization of public administration in the context of Industry 4.0 are identified: minimization of management mistakes, reduction of subjective influence in decision-making, limitation of corruption risks, improvement of reporting and forecasting on key socio-economic indicators. It is noted that the implementation of these tasks will contribute to the formation of a single digital space that unites all levels of government, ensure prompt response to the requests of citizens and businesses, improve the quality of management and efficiency of public administration. Therefore, innovative development is seen as a fundamental component of the modernization of public administration aimed at ensuring the competitiveness of the state, sustainable development of the national economy and integration into the global digital economy.
