<![CDATA[In the current new normal era, regional governments are expected to take advantage of the moment to reorganize their institutional structure and administrative systems. The emergence of the coronavirus has merely accelerated a transformation that was already necessary in the face of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, which is characterized by the extensive use of internet-based technology (Internet of Things). To respond effectively, local governments need to shift their paradigms, concepts, and policy orientations in carrying out their core duties and functions. This change is intended to enhance performance so that it becomes more effective, efficient, and equitable. This study employs qualitative methods, with primary data collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The strategic analysis uses the SWAR method, which integrates elements of SWOT and SOAR. The findings produce a strategic formulation for transforming the regional government organization of Sumedang Regency, viewed from four aspects: reframing, restructuring, revitalization, and renewal. In the reframing aspect, the current organizational form and structure are still not aligned with the regional vision and mission. In the restructuring aspect, organizational expansion is evident from the increase in structural positions—consisting of one position at level IIb, three positions at echelon IIIa, nine positions at echelon IIIb, and twenty-seven positions at echelon IVa. In the revitalization aspect, only seven out of the twenty-six sub-districts in Sumedang Regency have relatively good internet connectivity, while nine villages are categorized as “blind spots” or areas without internet access. In the renewal aspect, employee placement remains inconsistent with established competency standards for each position.]]>
