FAQ

How is OAO's training different from online trainings on data & AI?
OAO's training stands apart from generic online training in two key ways:

First, it delivers elite executive program-style learning at digital scale. This means reflective, contextualized, and interactive learning that adapts to each participant's role and context.

Second, it captures participants' reflections and ideas during the learning process, transforming domain expertise into valuable insights about company-specific roadblocks and opportunities with data & AI.

While traditional online training offers broad coverage and cost-effectiveness, OAO provides the deeper, contextualized learning needed to unlock domain expertise. As a focused solution, OAO complements existing online training, and you can even integrate your current L&D portfolio into the OAO Learn journey
How is OAO different from elite executive training?
OAO's training differs from elite executive programs in two key ways:

First, it scales the reflective, contextualized learning style of elite programs across your organization. Instead of limiting these powerful learning approaches to a select few leaders, OAO makes them available throughout your company.

Second, it captures and retains the insights generated when theory meets practice. While executive programs create valuable insights, these often leave with the participant. OAO ensures these insights stay within your company and drive better decisions.

OAO complements executive programs by extending their impact. When leaders attend elite university programs, OAO helps spread key learnings throughout the organization, creating a shared understanding and common language around data & AI. This multiplies the value of your executive education investment.
What is the content of the core training?
The core training develops capabilities across six key areas:

1. Data Literacy: Understanding data & AI fundamentals to effectively collaborate with data teams on business objectives.

2. Value Creation: Mastering data & AI business implications to develop strategies and identify valuable use cases.

3. Data-driven decisions: Strengthening decision-making capabilities to leverage data effectively and shape better processes.

4. Data ownership: Managing data as a strategic resource to enhance governance and ensure proper handling.

5. Transformation Management: Leading data & AI-driven change to successfully mobilize the organization.

6. Risk Reduction: Understanding data & AI risks to explore and implement solutions with confidence and control.
What is the content of the deep dives?
OAO offers 20 deep dive topics, with each learner receiving 3-5 topics matched to their needs and interests uncovered during core training.

Each deep dive combines OAO's proprietary interactive content, your company's existing L&D resources, and curated best-practice content from external sources. You have full flexibility: either let OAO handle all content curation, or integrate your own L&D materials to amplify existing training investments.
What is the overall time commitment for the training?
The core training requires three hours total, typically spread over three weeks with one hour per week. Deep dives are flexible, offering over 20 hours of additional content that learners can explore based on their individual needs and interests. The actual time commitment for deep dives varies as content is personalized to each learner's development priorities.
Can learners decide for themselves when to do the trainings?
Yes, learners have full flexibility in scheduling their training sessions. However, since the training is built around continuous interaction and reflection, each one-hour session needs to be completed in a single sitting with dedicated, uninterrupted time.
Do learners need to install a specific program to follow the trainings?
No, all training content is easily accessible through any web browser. Learners can access the training either through your company's dedicated training platform or via direct email links - no downloads or installations required.
