The strategic planning made by Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (UNUSA) in the second period (2018-2022) is purposed to become a leading university supported by reliable and well-established human resources. 143 out of 183 lecturers do not have any academic ranks. To answer the problem, the human resource department (HRD) has conducted several programs to accelerate the acquisition of those ranks. However, it is still questionable whether the programs can develop their competence and how the HRD builds their capacity based on the quality standards targeted by the internal quality assurance system (SPMI). Therefore, this study aims to set the strategic planning to develop the capacity of UNUSA lecturers in the era of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Agility) using the VUCA Prime strategy (Vision, Understanding, Clarity, and Agility). Facing the VUCA era has become a new normal which certainly cannot be treated with old-fashioned styles. By using the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) set and adjusted with the VUCA Prime strategy and combined with 6 competencies (6 Cs) (Think Critically, Communicate Clearly, Work Collaboratively, Embrace Culture, Develop Creativity and Utilize Connectivity), this study is expected to be able to develop the capacity of UNUSA lecturers. The results will be used as a reference to set UNUSA strategic planning in the third period (2022-2026) purposed to prepare UNUSA transformation into excellent entrepreneurship university and to give the contribution to 100 years of Nahdlatul Ulama in increasing the capacity building.
