Conclusion
In navigating digital transformation within higher education, universities must employ ongoing adaptation strategies, recognizing that change management is an intrinsic institutional feature as opposed to a transient operational phase.

By committing to sustained efforts and continual improvements, universities attain a role as visionaries and pioneers within an increasingly digitized academic domain.
