Creating Digital leaders – the Praxis way

At Praxis we believe that the digital-ready leader of the future is a critical thinker, capable learner, is ethical, is an effective communicator and collaborator – and understands data and technology.

We have set up a learning ecosystem that celebrates transparency and encourages fearless debate and dissent. We respect diversity of background and perspective and teach people how to, rather than what to, think. We align our course design, delivery and assessment to improve the learnability and thinking ability of the students. We create platforms for people to work in disparate groups and present solutions to complex problems.

This ecosystem comprises four components:

We enrol students who are curious and passionate about learning;

Our professors are accomplished industry professionals with high academic pedigree;

We have deep connect with the industry for design, delivery, mentorship and recruitment; and

Our digital and physical infrastructure is designed to facilitate collaborative learning and creating robust career opportunities
