Lecturers play a strategic role in education quality, research, and institutional accreditation. The capability of lecturers significantly impacts the quality of higher educa­tion institutions. Preliminary surveys indicate limitations at STMIK Kaputama Binjai regarding the number of perma­nent lecturers, academic qualifications, and academic po­sit­­ions. This research aims to identify and formulate lecturer development strategies by analyzing external and internal factors to enhance lecturers' capabilities at STMIK Kaputama Binjai towards achieving superior accreditation. The study employed qualitative methods, including inter­views and literature reviews, to construct strategic recom­mendations. Results obtained Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) and External Factor Evaluation (EFE) scores of 3.14, positioning the institution within quadrant one (Grow and Build), indicating an aggressive growth strategy. The prin­cipal recommended strategies include regular lecturer capa­bility enhancement programs, increased literacy and expertise in artificial intelligence, and strategic collabo­ration with relevant stakeholders. These strategies aim to elevate STMIK Kaputama into a leading, professional, and adaptive educational institution aligned with technological advancements and industrial demands.
