الملخص

In response to the accelerating challenges posed by rapid technological advancement, the knowledge-based economy, and globalization, this study explores the implementation of an innovation-driven training model aimed at cultivating bionic skills among digital learning innovators at King Abdulaziz University. Recognizing individuals as vital assets, the development of human capital is positioned as a strategic imperative for sustainable growth and entrepreneurial leadership in the digital age. The study involved 92 University students from various disciplines who participated in a structured innovation program grounded in human-centered design methodology. Participants were grouped into collaborative teams to develop final digital product prototypes. A pre- and post-assessment approach was used to measure changes in performance indicators and the expected return on investment (ROI) derived from their innovative outputs. Findings revealed statistically significant improvements in bionic entrepreneurial skills, team performance, and perceived value creation. The results affirm the effectiveness of the applied training model in enhancing future-ready competencies and fostering entrepreneurial mindsets aligned with digital transformation goals in higher education. The study recommends institutional adoption of innovation-based training frameworks to empower students as leaders of digital entrepreneurship and to embed bionic skill development into academic innovation strategies.
