In the current conditions of global imbalances, there is a need to create an effective, resilient environment for the functioning of the higher education system. Universities are transformed into innovative, protected, safe campuses due to global problems. That is why there is a basis for reforming the existing university management system. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate and develop an integrated resilient model of performance management of a higher education institution based on a combination of KPI and OKR, which simultaneously provides institutional manageability, strategic coherence, and adaptive capacity of university systems in conditions of uncertainty, crisis influences, and transformation of the educational environment. The methodological basis of the study is an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of performance management in higher education institutions. The scientific novelty of the results lies in the development and theoretical substantiation of an integrated two-loop KPI–OKR model for performance management in a higher education institution. Unlike existing approaches, the model institutionally combines measurability, iterativeness, multi-level coherence and managed flexibility within a single management mechanism. The model’s practical orientation is evident in its applicability to university management, internal quality assurance systems, strategic planning, and the formulation of performance policies in higher education.

Keywords: university performance management, university resilience, KPI, OKR, adaptive management, strategic management in higher education.
