The digital transformation in business schools during the COVID-19 pandemic is unique since external factors, not internal initiatives, drive it. This event is called 'forced digital transformation.' It raises new challenges for business schools to ensure that the transformation continues in the future since the post-pandemic situation has encouraged social and economic activities to return offline. As the situation begins normal, less external pressure can result in declining creative initiatives from business schools to explore more opportunities from digital technologies. Consequently, the digital transformation process that started during the pandemic could stagnate. One of the essential factors that play a role in encouraging continuous digital transformation is leadership. Leadership is believed to be the core of every digital innovation process. However, research investigating the role of leadership in business schools' digital transformation during the COVID-19 pandemic is still limited. Therefore, this study aims to describe leadership's role in structural and behavioral changes during forced digital transformation in business schools by applying a systematic literature review.

Digital transformation destination is much easier when a clear vision is communicated up and down the organization. This study seeks to explore the effect of visioning on digital transformation in the insurance industry. The study used a positivist research philosophy and a quantitative research approach. The research used primary data, which was collected using a questionnaire. Data analysis was done using regression analysis, descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. Normality and reliability were tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test and Cronbach’s alpha, respectively. The study findings revealed that visioning significantly influences digital transformation (t=1.129, p=0.000<0.05). Visioning is the art of modeling an organization's culture and is the critical variable towards digital transformation. The study recommends the regulator, the Insurance and Pension Commission, might need to enforce digital transformation within the insurance space. Visioning is critical in the insurance sector’s digital transformation process.
