Abstract

Digital transformation is a rapidly growing trend that has captured the attention of institutions and stakeholders worldwide. This phenomenon has become a top priority for higher education institutions, as universities play a critical role in the development and empowerment of societies. To address this pressing need, this paper proposes the establishment of a sustainable digital transformation environment based on the best national and international practices and recommendations. The goal of this proposal is to overcome the challenges faced by universities and provide the most convenient mechanisms to achieve their duties. Furthermore, this proposal aims to be a successful part of achieving Saudi Arabia Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which seeks to revolutionize the education and scientific research system. By adopting this proposed approach, universities in Saudi Arabia can proactively anticipate and address emerging trends and thereby ensure that they are offering the highest quality education to their students. Digital transformation is a crucial trend that cannot be ignored. By embracing this trend and implementing sustainable digital transformation environments, universities can ensure that they are providing the best possible education to their students and contributing to the development and empowerment of societies.
