The article examines the conceptual foundations of digital transformation in management systems, which emerge as a response to the strategic, organizational, technological, human resource, and regulatory challenges of the modern business environment. It has been established that traditional management models, which focus on hierarchy and paper-based procedures, are losing their effectiveness in the context of global turbulence, growing digital risks, and the need for informed operational management decisions. It has been proven that the key barriers to digital transformation are process fragmentation, technical debt, low process maturity, and a shortage of digital competencies, which reduce return on investment and slow down business adaptation. It has been determined that the target architecture of management systems should be based on standardized data quality and transparency of its origin, which creates the prerequisites for integrating analytics into strategic and operational decisions. The role of technological levers in value creation has been explored, including cloud platforms, modular ERP/CRM/HRM systems, RPA, low-code, analytics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and digital twins, which provide scalability, automation, forecasting, and personalization of business processes. It has been proven that change management requires systematic programs for staff training and retraining, the development of corporate academies, mentoring, and the formation of a culture of safe experimentation, which reduces resistance to new practices and accelerates the adoption of digital tools. It has been proven that the digital transformation of management systems is a multi-level process that combines a map of challenges, a target state model, a set of technological levers, management mechanisms, and an operationalization matrix with a risk management system. It is argued that, provided these elements are integrated, digital transformation becomes a permanent management competence that enhances competitiveness, adaptability, and innovative dynamics of business in conditions of high uncertainty. Keywords: digital transformation, management systems, artificial intelligence, change management, cyber resilience, business competitiveness.
