The current orientation of higher education human resource development should have led to the fulfillment of competencies that are in accordance with the needs of the labor market, therefore higher education quality goals are absolutely necessary, and one of them is done through strengthening competence and higher education innovation, especially facing the industrial era 4.0. This research was conducted by conducting observations and interviews with higher education managers, and providing a questionnaire through a google form filled out by 100 higher education managers to look for obstacles and aspects that have not been touched to be developed in their higher education management. The research findings state that the management innovation steps at the faculty of education at the university have not fully touched several aspects such as legality, quality management, accountability, and perceptions of education stakeholders. With improvements in these aspects, it will be easier to explore the potential for support for the acceleration of higher education innovation which in turn will be able to accelerate quality improvement and be responsive to the demands of the labor market and the development of industry 4.0.
