Why Do Innovators Prefer Our Programmes?
For bespoke courses, please write directly to our Office and Programme Director, Kaye Wong, at kaye.wong@oasahk.org to set up an initial discussion.
-
Near-Immediate Applications: Participants like them more because they can be applied immediately at work. Cases are used throughout. All OASA common courses can be amended and adapted for the organisation for a nominal fee.
-
Future Applications: All our key programmes follow our proprietary problem-solving methodology -- from symptoms, to causes, to prognosis, to courses of treatment; so that learners learn how to solve "future" problems themselves.
-
Trainers who can train: Each course is taught by an experienced professional certified in his/her profession and in management and consultancy; and must be trained and accredited by the Academy. Clients need not worry about the competency of the trainers. That worry is left to the Academy. They must be a professional certified in their technical field.
-
Learning relevant best practices: The contents are both academically respectable and functional at the same time (validated independently by an international team of training and educational experts). This ensures learners receive only the best and only relevant materials.
-
Escalated learning possible: Participants can learn to become trainers through accreditation (green belt to black belt). By teaching, the learner's ability is further enhanced.
-
Relevant for your company: Materials are in both English and in the local language. Management examples are amended to fit the local culture. In most cases, we would adapt the materials to the situation for our clients. We aim to provide a "just-for-you" solution based on a modular framework.
-
Competency based: Courses are competency based. Employers pay only for those that require immediate competency skills enhancement. Pre and post assessments can be built in. Learners learn how to do and what to do, supported by background on management concepts on why they have to do the practices.
-
One point of contact: You deal with one point of contact for your entire problem solving training needs. In addition, we can build a learning management system and a training database for your learners.
-
Enhanced learning ownership: Because learners want to learn and apply the learning, through various teaching methodologies, learners begin to own the thinking framework.
-
Minimum worries: Quality and value for money must apply to all our programmes. Satisfaction guaranteed or a replacement course will be provided free in another subject or the same subject by another accredited trainer.
As of June 2023, the Academy had set in place more than 28 short half-day workshops, each about 3.5 hours in length.
To ensure quality, each course has gone through several trials and through a series of dry-runs and assessment before they are released to the public. Because the quality assessment is both rigorous and time-consuming, we won't be able to entertain more than a few training requests each month. All of our courses are practical, built on sound academics and facilitated by seasoned and award-winning trainers. Members of our senior team at OASA have been training educators and executives in the generation and application of innovation for many decades.
We are proud to be able to offer a series of innovation short-courses for members and partners. Each course can be designed to include a few tools: pre-assessment, comparative diagrams, cases, retention assessments, briefing notes, role plays, PowerPoint presentation or summary slides, a short current best practice guide, a set of 10-point evaluative guidelines, or computer games. All courses are taught by certified professionals at the Academy with strengths in each of the assigned areas.

Facilitated by members of our international senior training team, these courses have been well tested and adapted for those firms looking to introduce innovative practices that are sustainable and sensible.
