Recent research from Emergn found nearly 44% of surveyed organizations hired a Chief Product Officer (CPO) in the past year, and 65% say product management will be critical to company strategy in the next 12 months, compared to 46% saying it’s currently critical to their established strategy – an almost 20% differential.
These findings paint a clear picture: a workforce eager to continue leveling up and enhancing their product-centric mindset. To do that, employees need support and tools to develop their product management skills and capabilities long-term while simultaneously adapting to constant bouts of industry changes.
There’s no shortage of tools that provide insight into product management theory, but none possess a truly all-inclusive, end-to-end coaching experience that aids users through the whole process.
That, however, is where Praxis excels.
The Ultimate Product Manager Pathway
As the gold standard in product management excellence, Praxis is a comprehensive learning platform thoughtfully designed to develop and embed product management capabilities – allowing organizations to effectively upskill their people and achieve measurable results.
Via in-class features, Praxis elevates quality, scales training and supports organizations in their long-term efforts to deploy innovative products and establish an encompassing culture of product excellence.
Praxis’ blueprint goes beyond one consulting session, bringing a work-based learning approach to every level of the organization, not just top-down.
Praxis Key Features
Praxis was constructed around three key pillars: product strategy, product discovery and product delivery. These pillars come together to connect the learning journey from beginning to end with product excellence intrinsic to every step – giving users the expertise to corroborate their intended strategy, leverage data to craft a roadmap and, ultimately, achieve their business goals.
Key features of Praxis include:
- Interactive templates to help employees solve problems promptly and effectively in real time.
- Customized modules that align with your organization, recommending specific courses based on jobs-to-be-done. Users can select either course-based or module-based learning to ensure content aligns with their style preferences and career aspirations.
- An extensive resource library delivering insight into methodology and techniques to achieve product success.
- Enterprise certifications in Leadership, Software Engineering, Agility and more.
And now, with the incorporation of Stella AI, Praxis is the only AI-enabled platform supporting the full product lifecycle.
Meet Stella: Praxis’ AI Coach
Eighty-one percent of business leaders report AI has made the product management role easier by increasing efficiency, according to Emergn data. However, mastering useful output from AI requires extensive training on prompting, technological savvy and industry knowledge.
Stella serves as an embedded AI coach within Praxis, combining integrated tools and on-demand coaching into one intelligent workspace. Praxis and Stella are designed to enhance outcomes via three central elements:
- Expertise-Led AI: Stella is trained to use its knowledge base and product-specific context to deliver customized recommendations, learning modules and step-by-step tasks.
- Learning in the Flow of Work: Stella provides real-time guidance, so you don’t need to pause for separate training.
- Single Space for Product Management: Strategy, research and execution – it’s all happening here.
The more you use Praxis and Stella, the smarter it gets – increasingly catering to your team’s needs and offering organizational-specific guidance, rooted in 16+ years of real-world engagement data and Emergn’s proprietary Value, Flow, Quality (VFQ) philosophy.
Emergn’s VFQ Philosophy
The beacon for Praxis and Emergn is our VFQ philosophy – not a rigid, top-down approach, but rather, tailored to the context of any organization. Throughout Emergn’s lifetime, the framework has served 410+ clients with 38,000+ learners across the globe.
Current product management is often rooted too deep in theory. Real change comes from just-in-time learning, and strategic product work requires real-time coaching. The VFQ mindset emphasizes finding value early and often, focusing on flow of work rather than time and prioritizing quality with fast feedback over scope.
VFQ underpins Praxis, bringing this line of thinking right to employees’ doorsteps, while offering an unmatched experience going beyond theory. Business leaders are quickly realizing the value of product-centric thinking and looking for the right tools to equip workers with the capabilities they need to succeed in an increasingly product-focused world.
