PRAXIS: A Digital Learning Ecosystem for Upskilling and Reskilling Project Managers in the AI Era
20th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation & Personalization (SMAP 2025), 27-28 November 2025, Mystras, Greece
ABSTRACT
The rapid proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies has transformed the role and required skillsets of project managers, demanding hybrid competencies that combine technical expertise with advanced soft skills such as leadership, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. However, traditional project management education and certification frameworks remain largely misaligned with these evolving needs, often emphasizing methodological knowledge over experiential and human-centered capabilities. Addressing this gap, the PRAXIS platform initiative introduces a novel digital learning ecosystem for upskilling and reskilling project managers in the AI era. Built on the principles of experiential and project-based learning, PRAXIS integrates academic research, industry practices, and innovation to create a dynamic platform for continuous competence development. Central to the initiative is the PMC BOX, a simulation-based environment offering virtual scenarios, e-hackathons, and collaborative challenges designed to cultivate both AI fluency and essential soft skills. By fostering active learning and cross-community interaction, PRAXIS advances a new paradigm in project management training, equipping professionals to thrive in volatile, uncertain, and AI-driven contexts.
