What we do – briefing, learning and training

OLi-works is a pico-level social platform that aids in peer-peer learning and networking within a small group setting. Like a probe, OLi-works focuses on a small bundle of themes at its on-line, interactive (OLi) workshops, providing science, technology and innovation (STI) presentations and Q&A to organizations such as:

  • start-ups and small companies,
  • business intelligence units of companies and institutions,
  • not-for-profit organizations and associations,
  • STI or STEAM* initiatives, networks and virtual communities,
  • science journalists,
  • universities and colleges, including continuing education,
  • government divisions,
  • solo consultants, individuals and adult learners,
  • solo investors or would-be investors, and
  • anyone wishing to “stay in the loop” in the small set of STI areas we follow.

Drawing on our network of experts, or by tapping authentic outside experts, we provide small-scale, on-line workshops that allow conversation, exchange and feedback;

  • for professional development,
  • as briefing on a fast-moving topic in STI,
  • for platform, presentation training, peer review and rehearsal by clients themselves,
  • as science communication for individuals or groups of the public,
  • for language improvement or maintenance of French, Spanish and Swedish, and
  • for enhancing creative English writing and speaking through voice acting.

Socio-economic sectors on which we focus our OLi-workshops series are:

  1. selected topics in energy and climate change,
  2. one topic in the life sciences,
  3. developments in the digital economy including AI, and
  4. deciphering drivers of the international, geopolitical times in which we live.

Our workshop page provides some details.  With many years of working experience at domestic and international levels, in the field and in the office, in low- and high-income countries, we hope our team can expand your knowledge of how science and technology is now deeply entwined with international affairs.

All of our work is carried out with discretion and in confidentiality.
