The article presents the analysis of the framework of evaluation and monitoring tools for use within the framework of a program-oriented approach. The typical coordinate systems of the approach are developed; The linkage of strategies within the framework of the approach with the levels of results is shown. A description of the method of reversible construction of structural-logical elements of a management matrix is presented. An overview of the most relevant management, monitoring and evaluation tools is presented in the framework of the approach. Two key groups of analytical and management modules of the Program-oriented approach (POA) have been identified. It was found that application modules for the implementation of important elements of the POP are either an index with an accompanying matrix of management actions, or a plan-matrix. The authors point out that the matrix of the indicator assumes that it is possible to add a guiding action to each gradation of each measure, as well as to combine certain guiding actions or provide correction factors in case of their exclusion, partial crossing or simplification. According to the authors, in general, the Program-oriented approach (POA) can be presented as two groups of analytical and management modules. A large complex called "analysis and planning", on the one hand, is a giant based on a whole layer of data experience and cyclic dependencies of cycles and periods of strategic planning. And on the other hand, there is a similar "super-machine" called "implementation via a program mechanism" – whose structures, systems and processes have a large number of specializations and superstructures of project management, attracting resources, managing people, ensuring sustainability, obtaining acquired experience and lessons, elements of development intervention and are measured by different groups of indices. The authors further conclude that management tools within the framework of the program-oriented approach are a management superstructure on the plan and on the matrix of resources and results. These are application modules for the implementation of important elements of the POP, which is a tool of the manager, as well as a specialist in monitoring and evaluation. Technically, these tools are either an index with an accompanying action matrix or a matrix plan.
The research is aimed at determining the key variable factors, the values of which are important in decision-making by residents-investors of the city as a "field of development". According to the authors, in the life of every city, there are periods of prosperity and decline. A person of conscious age, having a family and children, also acts as a kind of shareholder in the development platform, such as a particular city. For such a person, the perspective of living in the city is made up of several variables. A number of such variables were considered, including the level of salaries against the background of the demand for a person as a specialist, the level of safety and "civilization" of the city that is significant for a person, the level of prospects of the city for the children of the investor, the level of consumer prices in the city, ecology and the related availability of water and food, the importance of the social environment for households. The research methodology is empirical, as well as based on focus group discussions and document analysis. The authors note that a typical planning horizon of the city authorities is limited in practice, to a 3-year development plan, although in paper execution the city often has far-reaching, but not always feasible, for example, 7-8 year plans. That is why, the authors state, the city needs a program-oriented approach (POA) that is not limited to only a three-year plan for socio-economic development, but goes longer and looks at least 7-8 years ahead. The use of the proposed index, which is a part of the POA, creates a space for using vectors of the likely development of investors' sentiments and forecasting the impact of these sentiments on investors' decisions and, accordingly, on the development of the city. Besides, the space for scenario planning with a horizon of 4–9 years is opened to cover the behavioral factors of the economic reaction of residents-investors, if the value of the index for several typical social groups of "investors" of the city is measure. At the same time, this index can help determine the relative weight of each group in influencing the development in the cities, and assume the probable development of the values of each measure of the index in each group.
This study is aimed at determining the key variable factors in the development of management systems in corporations, the transition of which through minimum or maximum values leads to dangerous deformations of the organizational mechanism. Among the key contexts, the following are highlighted: poor coordination, "money leeches", wasteful depletion of human resources, hyper-strategization, striving for process focus and delaying deadlines, blurring of responsibility for the decision made, excessive centralization, suppression of the power of those in power, excessive routine. The research methodology is empirical, based on focus group discussions and document analysis. Typical contexts of distortions during the transition of the organization to the Program-oriented approach (PoA) have been studied in detail. In particular, more cumbersome procedures lead to the complexity of making and implementing decisions that were previously simple and quick. Therefore, the development of new projects is no longer seen as necessary against the background of the "favorite procedures" of the organization, and accordingly, deadlines are met with lower quality even on the last day. An organization with a programmatic approach should not avoid the issues of the usual project cycle, acceptable quality control, finding a balance between perfectionism and resources, satisfaction of the main customers and partners, and the interests of the "middle man" in the system, that is, along with global ones, attention should also be paid to well-practiced, proven tools that can automate flow processes and allow the implementation of individual innovations of a software nature. It is best to set a quota for innovation and even for a portion of the time spent by top management discussing new ideas. PoA is a system practiced today, from which it is hardly possible to turn away, and if it already creates additional and complex, complex superstructures in the procedures, then the obvious human-focused task of the manager will be the desire to apply the procedures in a way to ensure that work becomes pleasant again, but at the same time the implementation is quite effective. If the manager is more concerned with simplifying the life of his subordinates and reduces the workload to the permitted extent, limiting it to the necessary or speeding up unnecessary tasks, then the employees will stick to such a manager and feel comfortable in such an organization.
Abstract. The purpose of the paper is to advise to optimization improvement pathways in IDP stabilization system in Ukraine that currently lacks real-time global-scale coordination, resulting in less efficient peaceful change. It is argued that with funding uncertainty, the system halts at middle level, aiming at sustainability. The article states that to improve, it needs to maintain high motivation and marketability of its professionals through skills and professional certification. Future grassroots projects should focus on mind changes. Methodology. A desk and in-depth study has been carried out of several national IDP stabilization programs dealing with the government that ensure infrastructural support to communities hosting IDPs. It has been studied how the programs "mindchange" their stakeholders (2014-2016 data) via regional NGOs and supports grassroots, using a real-time communication platform with features of cloud, internet banking, social network and dedicated server. Improving change generation tools, it leverages transformation with small, but not too small, resources to catalyze change. Results of the research showed that the bargain between external priorities and grassroots interests should favor program interest with "soft" projects, and listen to grassroots with "hard" projects. However, funding for non-state actors could have a 4-level structure, including: national projects for regional change strategies; regional NGO support funds; simple grassroots grants; and individual innovation prizes. Practical implications. Regional NGOs can improve beneficiary satisfaction and widen participation by supporting informal civic movements. For slowlyfunded programs, a pre-funding risk assessment report could be useful to assess change that is happening before the funding starts. Additionally, internships as a mind changing tool in IDP perception should focus on young professionals and high-ranked MPs, the latter to be engaged in group cooperation, aimed at professionalizing and strengthening their united voice to advance reforms in the region's governments, the 60+ generation must give way to 50+ reformers and build on 35+ functional change-makers. Value/originality. The article concludes with the statement that we approach the need to establish an international coordination and control system, with IDPSA growing from an anti-poverty and democracy-building system -into the framework of support and stabilization the vital social functions in the regions of the world. While we agree that IDPSA in our region duplicates some functions of the state, therefore, it should be the state, supported by the global coordination system, which performs these functions directly -putting us closer to the developed economies and democracies of the world. According to the author, the structure of IDPSA might replace important sectorial functions in such states, building a humane world with common goals and aspirations of the higher values -where the combination of global security and humanism objectives and growth will b...
The war in Ukraine exacerbated certain behavioral reactions of the social groups selected for the study. The city, as a complex socio-economic mechanism, has the opportunity to monitor the manifestations of atypical reactions of these groups and, based on these manifestations, to determine indicators of long-term and preventive impact. The authors argue that such indicators are currently lacking in long-term planning systems of large cities, especially for wartime planning and management as a high-risk, dynamic context. Examples of the manifestations of two characteristic indicators are given, which relate to certain social groups exposed to the influence of increased mental stress caused by such a phenomenon as war. The research methodology is empirical, as well as based on focus group discussions and document analysis. 3 types of index frameworks are considered, namely: the context of wartime work planning, the index of coverage of members of society with incomplete functionality, as well as the mechanism of long-term forecasting in response to changes in external factors. According to the authors, the need for careful planning in situations of high uncertainty makes the risk factor and especially its impact component among the priorities for analysis and decision-making. That is, if the risk is high and the consequences are dire, you should engage in the potentially risk-generating direction first. During the war, you will have several such directions, from which you can select those that, in case of implementation, carry the largest risk impact and the moderate, “background” risk impact. With regards to the members of society with incomplete functionality, it is good to display regulatory signs such as "red flags" or "blind spots" which will allow to either focus their attention on something important, or limit their view so that they are not distracted, so there is a chance to prevent further destruction. With regards to the priorities of the economic behavior of households that formed based on the undistributed income available to them and on new/existing regulatory norms or other "windows of opportunity" in the market, this significant factor for the development of the city shall be analyzed preventively because some household purchases can significantly affect the ecosystem of the city and ultimately its economy.
