Abstract

This study aims to analyze technology-based management innovations and cross-stakeholder collaboration in realizing sustainable digital governance at Sunan Drajat Islamic Boarding School in Lamongan. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six informants, non-participant observations, and documentation of institutional documents, application implementation, official publications, and relevant scientific literature. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that digital transformation at Sunan Drajat Islamic Boarding School is supported by collaboration among the pesantren, government institutions, financial institutions, business actors, and inter-pesantren networks, forming a sustainable innovation ecosystem. The implementation of Santri Link and Sundra SuperApp integrates administrative management, educational services, financial transactions, and business unit management, thereby strengthening the effectiveness, transparency, and accountability of pesantren governance. Digital transformation also contributes to strengthening economic independence, improving services for students and parents or guardians, and supporting community empowerment. The study concludes that the integration of Triple Helix Innovation, Transformational Leadership, and Digital Governance contributes to the development of an adaptive, collaborative, and sustainable digital governance model for Islamic Education Management.
