The management of tertiary institutions has undergone significant transformation through innovative methods in recent years. This study provides an overview of key innovative management approaches that have shaped the landscape of higher education administration. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has streamlined administrative processes and enhanced student services through AI-powered chatbots. Data-driven decision-making using big data analytics has facilitated evidence-based strategies in enrollment management, resource allocation, and student success prediction. Lean management principles borrowed from industry have optimised operational efficiency and reduced waste in tertiary institutions. Digital transformation strategies, including cloud computing and online learning platforms, have improved accessibility and collaboration while supporting remote learning initiatives. Stakeholder collaboration involving faculty, students, industry partners, and policymakers has fostered innovation and inclusivity in management practices. Continuous professional development programmes for leadership have promoted strategic thinking and adaptability among educational leaders. These innovative management methods are essential for addressing challenges, driving sustainable growth, and ensuring quality education delivery in tertiary institutions. The study concludes that by embracing innovation, leveraging technology, nurturing partnerships, fostering student success, and upholding ethical standards, tertiary institutions can fulfil their mission of knowledge creation, dissemination, and societal impact in a rapidly evolving world. One of the recommendations was to integrate sustainability principles into management strategies, operations, and decision-making processes.
