AI Training: Once Again, High Performers on on the Ball

Sneak preview: Our 2024 research study is complete, and will be published in a few weeks. Meanwhile, here's a peek at just some of the findings.

As usual, our results show that companies identified as high performers in the study have a more robust training profile, offering courses on more topics to more people in the organization. That's no surprise--more and better training has been a hallmark of successful organizations over the course of 25 years of research studies.

But this year's study asks a new set of questions about a new topic in project management: Artificial Intelligence. And while only 18% of the organizations in the study are currently using AI tools to manage projects, among the high performers that percentage jumps to 35%. (Only 5% of low-performing organizations use AI.)

But the red flag in the AI stats this year is that so few organizations -- only 38% -- are conducting training in AI. You'd think that, for tools whose promise is being shouted from the rooftops (see PMI's AI Impact resources), more organizations would be investing in the future.

If yours isn't, take the intitiative: just Google AI training to find a wealth of online courses.
