MANAJEMEN PERUBAHAN PONDOK PESANTREN DALAM MENGHADAPI ERA VUCA: STUDI KASUS DI PONDOK PESANTREN JABAL NOOR TRENGGALEK

Abstract

Jabal Noor Islamic Boarding School faces the challenges of the VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) era by implementing a strategic change management approach. This research aims to analyze strengthening leadership vision, developing a technology and entrepreneurship-based curriculum, as well as increasing human resource (HR) competency in supporting Islamic boarding school transformation. By adopting Kurt Lewin's change management theory, transformation is carried out through three stages: Unfreeze, to build collective awareness of the need for change; Change, through the development of an integrative curriculum, ongoing training for teaching staff, and providing practical skills to students; and Refreeze, to strengthen change as part of sustainable Islamic boarding school culture. This approach is supported by a transformational leadership style that inspires and empowers all elements of the Islamic boarding school, resulting in a shared commitment to facing the challenges of the modern era. The results show that strengthening leadership vision, curriculum innovation and integrated human resource development can increase the competitiveness of students and create a progressive culture that is relevant to future needs.
