Long-term thinking in public governance under the digital era

The high dynamics of geopolitical change have put new demands on state and economic management. The speed with which these requirements must be met raises the question of the need for a technological breakthrough in the field of governance. Moreover, the scale of changes in the global economy requires special attention to strategic planning, the role of which in the public administration system has increased to a level that will ensure the orientation of all governing bodies to achieve the goals of society's development. The topic's relevance is determined by the increasing role of strategic planning and forecasting in the public administration system of developed countries in the digital society. To understand how digital transformation profoundly affects strategic planning in public administration, we use a systems thinking approach to analyse setting goals and achieving targets for the state's environment that can be improved through digital technologies. The article discusses the issues of strategic planning technologisation, the challenges to which the new strategic planning system should respond, some risks of digital transformation of public administration and possible ways to overcome them. The novelty of strategic planning in the context of digital transformation lies in modernising methodological and analytical support for the strategic planning system, taking into account the main consequences and requirements of creating and disseminating digital technologies in various spheres of society.
