Foresight studies conducted by the College of Social Work at Assiut University, Egypt, have enabled us to identify key variables that may enhance its strength by 2030. This study presents a conceptual framework based on the methodology and findings of implementing the Matrix of Cross Impacts Multiplication Applied to a Classification (MICMAC) method, aimed at determining significance through degrees of influence and dependence among one another. To attain the objective of this article, Delphi was employed to analyze 42 key variables, which were subsequently organized based on their respective significance. Among the 42 key variables, analysis has been conducted on 17, providing insights into enhancing the competitiveness and prospects of these colleges. The findings have highlighted the noteworthy influence of variables like technology infrastructure, applied projects, and international cooperation on the robust assessment of the competitive landscape of the College of Social Work. The variables ranked second in terms of their significance impact on enhancing the institutional capacity of this college, encompassing strategic orientation, mobility, teacher, educational programs, student, scientific research, and innovation. Finally, this study serves as the initial step toward developing future scenarios aimed at enhancing the institution's competitive position.
