The collaboration continued with a seminar and benchmarking session themed “Design and Development of Islamic Education Management toward Indonesia Gold 2045.” There were three speakers at this event, including Dr. Muhammadun, M.Si, a lecturer at IAI Bunga Bangsa Cirebon; Dr. Dian Muhammad Hakim, a lecturer at Universitas Islam Malang; and Rudi Permana, a master’s student in Islamic Education Management.
Muhammadun explained the concept of the Educational Institution’s Vision Design. According to him, in developing an educational vision, there are at least four components: objectives, values, business processes, and future orientation.
According to Dian, Educational Management Governance involves three processes: input value, process value, and output value. Among these three, the most important process is process value. Dian shared the story of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, who observed a rock eroded by dripping water. Inspired by this, he continued his studies and became a great scholar.
Additionally, Rudi Permana, a Master’s student in Islamic Education Management, delivered a presentation on leadership in the digital age. According to him, leadership in the digital age emphasizes preparation for change and even creating change itself.
