Abstract

This methodology addresses the problem of systemic inertia and the low effectiveness characteristic of many local social systems across public administration, social policy, and the agricultural sector. The persistent gap between the recognized need for reforms and the lack of practical implementation tools for their planning and execution on the ground creates substantial barriers to sustainable development. The objective of this work is to present and theoretically substantiate an original four-stage integrated modernization framework designed for the systemic management of local reforms. The scientific novelty of the methodology lies in the development of an interdisciplinary managerial model that synthesizes classical theories of change management, contemporary approaches to public-sector innovation, and practical project management tools. The framework’s universality and practical efficacy are empirically demonstrated through a detailed analysis of three successful yet heterogeneous cases from the author’s practice, and its applicability in an international context is substantiated. As a ready-made, step-by-step algorithm, the methodology allows local leaders and reformers to reliably achieve reproducible results with lasting effects.
