Tools of government strategic planning in the Russian Federation: definition of performance criteria

The object of the study is state strategic planning, and the subject is state strategic planning in the Russian Federation at the present stage. The author examines in detail such aspects as the dichotomy between the formalized results of the effectiveness of strategic projects and feedback from the public. The effectiveness assessment based on the analysis of the achievement of indicators, measures, and cash execution set out in program documents does not fully reflect compliance with the achievement of strategic goals, since the decomposition of goals into control points is carried out not by political management bodies, but, often, by the bureaucratic apparatus. Replacing the achievement of strategic goals with the implementation of formalized measures (using the example of the implementation of the national Ecology project in the Russian Federation) is one of the challenges of state strategic planning at the current stage of its development. Special attention is paid to the analysis of promising areas for the involvement of modern artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in the processes of formation, approval, implementation and monitoring of state strategic projects in the Russian Federation and world practice. The methodological basis of the research consists of modern methods of cognition of socio-political phenomena and processes, including the institutional method (political institutions regulating the development and implementation of strategic projects), the comparative method (comparison of state strategic planning tools among themselves), the structural and functional method. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that monitoring the implementation of national projects in Russia shows a disparity between citizens' awareness of national projects and satisfaction with their implementation. The author has established that state strategic planning in various countries of the world, including the Russian Federation, plays an important role in ensuring the stability of the political system and solving purely political tasks. This may be evidenced by the connection between the definition of national priorities and electoral cycles, since, often, the declaration of updated national development goals occurs with the inauguration of a new head of state. Practical recommendations on the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in the process of monitoring the achievement of strategic goals of the state can be considered a special contribution of the author. At the same time, the author believes that the final approval of decisions /conclusions/forecasts made with the help of artificial intelligence should be carried out by competent specialists.
