The Future of Project Management Education: Why Business Acumen Matters Project success is about more than just meeting deadlines and budgets—it’s about delivering real value. The 2025 PMI Pulse of the Profession® report reveals a key insight: business acumen is a critical skill for today’s project leaders. However, a skills gap remains. Only 18% of project professionals have strong business acumen, while most are still developing this essential competency (66% moderate, 16% low). As the profession evolves, students and educators have a unique opportunity to bridge this gap. By integrating project management education with industry-aligned skill development, as GAC accreditation validates, universities can prepare students to think strategically, make informed decisions, and drive impact in their careers. Building business acumen alongside technical project management skills will help the next generation of professionals stand out in a competitive landscape. Discover what top-performing project professionals are doing differently and how education can adapt to industry needs. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/e9rdgwUf
