System approach as a key imperative for improving strategic processes in Ukraine at the meso-level

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to substantiate the need to use the system methodology to ensure the transition from regional strategic planning to a process of “strategirovanie” (or formating of a “processial-system-for-working-out-strategizing”), which is understood as the formation of a complex multi-level and multiobject system that bringing together a whole set of processes for the working out of strategies at the meso-level and the mechanisms for their implementation. "Strategirovanie" is a broader system concept, which is single technological complex software and project tools of the region's development strategy (including conceptualization, forecasting, communicative forsighting, strategic stsenirovanie, goal-setting, planning, design, modeling, programming, situation analysis, involvement of stakeholders, formation of regional private partnerships, controlling, etc.). This problem is extremely urgent for Ukraine, where the process of strategic management is just beginning to take shape; it is methodologically not homogeneous and does not allow uniting all participants in the process on the basis of agreed strategic documents and mechanisms for their implementation.
