Weekly Workshops
Each week, participants gather for a workshop facilitated by your organization where they learn together and give each other feedback.
Fieldwork
Worksheets and resources with each session, to keep you on track and ensure participants are applying Genesis directly to their business.
Customer Conversations
Participants identify their ideal customer and learn to engage with them regularly and create a customer-focused marketing plan.
Launch Readiness
Guide participants through a process of discovery and collection of assumptions to complete the OCEAN Business Model Canvas. They will know whether or not their business idea is viable.
Biblical Principles
With everything anchored in biblical principles that provide valuable faith tools for both life and business, participants from your organization will keep growing as leaders and individuals.
The curriculum was great but the support we got from the team at OCEAN is what really made the difference.

Genesis is a 9-module, digital training program with asynchronous and synchronous content designed to bring you a hybrid model learning experience. Traditionally, it’s paced over a 9-week period, but when scheduling your start date, you can coordinate with the OCEAN team to adjust your cohort pace.
