Key Differentiators Between Komodo & Our Competitors
Our Learning Process
1. Take a 101 Course
Begin with the fundamentals. Participants build a strong foundation in AI concepts, ethics, and applications tailored to public health, ensuring everyone starts with a shared understanding.
2. Conduct an Assessment
We evaluate current skills, organizational needs, and data readiness. This helps identify gaps and opportunities where AI can have the greatest impact in your public health context.
3. Design Custom Curriculum, Process & Policy
Based on the assessment, we co-create a tailored learning path. This includes practical training modules, clear processes for responsible AI adoption, and policy guidelines to ensure equity and compliance.
4. Apply Lessons Through Learning Projects
Participants put knowledge into action with real-world projects. These hands-on applications focus on solving pressing public health challenges using AI tools and methods.
5. Refine Policy & Processes
We close the loop by reviewing outcomes, gathering feedback, and refining strategies. This ensures policies, workflows, and skills remain effective, ethical, and adaptable to new public health needs.

Learning Projects
The course blends core concepts with hands-on learning projects that allow participants to explore and apply AI in practical scenarios. These projects foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and skill development, helping learners gain confidence and the ability to leverage AI effectively in real-world situations.
Participants engage with interactive learning projects that turn abstract AI concepts into tangible skills. By experimenting and solving real-world challenges, learners develop a strong understanding of AI tools and techniques, preparing them to apply their knowledge confidently in practical settings.
The course emphasizes applied learning through carefully designed projects that encourage exploration and innovation. Learners gain hands-on experience with AI workflows and methodologies, building both technical proficiency and the confidence to tackle complex problems.
Through immersive projects, the AI Fundamentals course enables participants to connect theory with practice. Learners sharpen their analytical and problem-solving abilities while gaining practical insights into how AI can be used effectively across diverse applications.
Key Differentiators
Feature | Komodo | Typical Competitor |
---|---|---|
Customization of Content | Majority of sessions developed directly for the organization’s context, policies, and use cases. | Off-the-shelf slides reused across clients, little to no tailoring. |
Faculty Expertise | Instructors who built AMA’s (American Management Association) AI curriculum and have extensive executive teaching experience. | Trainers with generic “AI awareness” certificates, no proven record in executive education. |
Practical Executive Training | Designed for managers and directors — grounded in real-world business and compliance use cases. | Too technical (engineer-level) or too generic (buzzword-heavy “AI 101”). |
Compliance & Industry Focus | Deep knowledge of data governance and AI policy in regulated environments. | Most vendors focus on the private sector; weak on compliance/regulation. |
Assessment & Readiness Tools | Proprietary AI readiness assessment used by 300+ organizations; enterprise license included. | No proprietary tools, at best a generic survey or consultant interview. |
Interactive Learning | Mix of classes, workshops, SME deep dives, toolkits, and an evolving Learning Vault. | PowerPoint lectures and PDFs, minimal interactivity or applied exercises. |
Value for Investment | Transparent, flat per-student pricing with unlimited assessment access. | Hidden per-seat fees, extra charges for recordings, or upselling subscriptions. |
Integration with Real Work | Komodo acts like an embedded R&D team (SME Days) to test policies, tools, and processes. | Limited to classroom training; no capability to help with tool selection or infrastructure. |
Sustainability & Hand-Off | The organization keeps recordings, toolkits, and a downloadable Learning Vault for future staff training. | Training ends when the instructor leaves with no reusable content. |
