Effective educational technology adoption and implementation have become crucial for educational institutions in the digital transformation era. However, this study aims to identify the challenges faced by educational leaders in adopting and implementing Google Workspace for Education in educational institutions, as well as strategies to address these challenges. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews and specially designed spreadsheets to gather perspectives and data from 70 educational foundation leaders and school principals in Indonesia. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the collected data. The findings revealed challenges such as mindset change, technological barriers, collaboration issues, and resource constraints in adopting Google Workspace for Education. The study identified six strategies to overcome these challenges, including supervising teachers' work, enhancing participation in training, fostering collaboration among teachers, monitoring and evaluating usage, preparing supportive infrastructure, and gaining support from school leaders. This research provides insights into the perceptions and strategies of educational leaders in adopting and implementing Google Workspace for Education, contributing to a deeper understanding of the digital transformation in educational institutions and its implications for educational technology development in Indonesia.
