The processes of preparing management and teaching staff for innovative activities in higher education institutions, as well as the problems and opportunities in this regard, were systematically studied. The study conducted analyses based on modern concepts such as artificial intelligence technologies, digital transformation, innovative management models, and cluster systems. The theoretical foundations of the article are covered based on current state documents, including decrees and resolutions of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, important programs such as the “New Uzbekistan Development Strategy – 2022–2026”, “Concept for the Development of Higher Education until 2030”. In this regard, the master's student correctly determined the political and legal foundations of the topic. The methodological basis of the work, in addition to traditional theoretical analysis methods, included pedagogical observation, interviews, tests, electronic questionnaires, and mathematical and statistical analysis methods, which ensured the reliability of the research results.
