Abstract: Abstract Pandemic of Covid 19 was a roller coaster pressure for any organization including but not limited to higher education especially in Indonesia. The pressure further than just an adaptation of education using digital based technology to overcome the problem of face-to-face learning. After the pandemic higher education in Indonesia mostly have used to operates in online (distance) learning method using variety of available platforms. However, this was seemingly a solution during the pandemic in term of learning efficiency but not quite sure of its effectiveness by means of quality of the learning. In reality, higher education must adapt to the fast-changing strategic environment in order to ensure their sustainability especially when strategic environment change rapidly. Before the pandemic it was familiar that the strategic environment faced by higher education broadly known as V.U.C.A. stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. However, after the pandemic Covid 19 several variants of virus alike Covid 19 have emerged such as delta, omicron, and perhaps more to come, therefore strategic environment of V.U.C.A. may not be representable anymore to describe the situation. A new acronym that represent today strategic environment after the Covid 19 is now become popular with the acronym of B.A.N.I. stands for Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible. Therefore, this paper will elaborate B.A.N.I. as new strategic environment as challenges or threats for higher education especially in Indonesia. This paper will elaborate scenarios for higher education institutions in Indonesia to overcome the situation. This paper uses experiential learning and literature study to describe the situation.
