OMI Institute
Building practical knowledge for Product Commercialization
OMI, the Oyiza Musa Institute, is an education and knowledge initiative focused on practical Product Commercialization.
Flagship discipline: Product CommercializationOperating
The initiative
What is OMI?
OMI is an education and knowledge initiative created by Oyiza Musa. It focuses on practical knowledge around Product Commercialization: how a product moves from an opportunity and a piece of research, through sourcing, suppliers, trade and logistics, into a market and on to commercial execution.
The emphasis is on the work itself rather than theory about it. Participants research products, approach suppliers, price and compare, arrange payment and shipping, and follow a product through to the market it was meant for.
The discipline
Product Commercialization
I work across the process of researching, sourcing, structuring and bringing products into the market, connecting product opportunities with suppliers, procurement, logistics, distribution and commercial execution.
