Abstract

This study sheds light on HEIs in Europe, focusing on visionary leadership amid the ever- changing digital transformation. The research first sheds light on the trends, challenges, and opportunities in the digital environment and then delves into the strategic stages for digital innovation while addressing barriers such as the digital divide, cyber security, and regulatory complexities. It emphasizes effective data governance and management, supporting clean, timely, and accurate data alongside accurate execution of processes. This integrated approach combines data integrity with procedural consistency, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency. Finally, it is worth emphasizing that this research's results, approaches, and proposed actions are entirely consistent with the European Union's strategy for digital education, which aims to create inclusive and innovative learning environments that are prepared for the Future.

Keyphrases: effective data governance and management, leadership and digital transformation, leadership in heis, strategies for the future of heis
