OWP is very special. This unique and enriching experience brought me together with inspiring leaders from around the globe. One key takeaway is about alignment. Alignment from executive to board, alignment from executive to line manager. A whole structure of alignment in terms of the culture of an organization. My journey has been a rich one.

It’s a privilege to be able to absorb new knowledge from fantastic researchers and educators, together with people from all over the world, lots of industries and companies. I learned about the value of data and data creation. We need to start thinking about what kind of data we actually have and how it will affect our jobs and the situation of our employees in the future.
Audit Director & Diversity & Inclusion Lead, RSM, Switzerland
The OWP professors reminded us that strategy design is very important; however, most companies fail due to poor execution. It’s super important to define what to do, but it’s even more important to decide what not to do. Choices must hurt, and if they don’t, these are not strategic decisions. I am grateful to everyone who made this week so impactful.
Chief Innovation Officer and Director of Strategy, Dr. Peter C. Fritz Dentistry Professional Corporation, Canada
I loved the many opportunities we had to work together in small groups and to network with so many other high-caliber individuals throughout OWP.

The format of OWP is very good. It’s empowering to be able to choose. You have a blank canvas and can decide what you want to learn and take back to your organization. It’s engaging, insightful and impactful learning.
Senior Partner, GEA Management Consulting, Italy
OWP is very rich in content – stimulating, inspiring and I got big learning takeaways in terms of digital strategy, high performance leadership and immunity to change. It gives you great tools and frameworks. It’s very applicable to what’s going on.
