Combining Artificial Intelligence and Project Management Techniques in Ecosystem for Training and Innovation

Training and innovation in project management has a high impact in different scenarios of society. In this context, one way to achieve sustainable development is the creation of ecosystems for training and innovation. This article presents an ecosystem proposal that combines the teaching of project management techniques with artificial intelligence techniques. It is an ecosystem created to contribute to the introduction of emerging technologies in the management of investment projects. To achieve sustainability, the ecosystem itself develops computer solutions such as BusinessRedmine that facilitate practical teaching. These same IT solutions are marketed in different environments, generating funds that are reinvested in the development of the ecosystem. For the validation of the research, a set of indicators based on different international experiences are used. In addition, multi-criteria analysis methods are applied for the evaluation of the training ecosystem by the beneficiaries. The applicability of the ecosystem is demonstrated.
