About ODA

When organizations face their most consequential technology decisions, they need an advisor who has been there before — not just in theory, but in practice. Paul Oliver is that advisor.

With over 20 years of experience as both an executive technology leader and senior consultant, Paul brings a depth of real-world perspective that is rare in the marketplace. He has led global content delivery operations at The Associated Press, driven digital transformation at the Association of Corporate Counsel, and helped enterprises navigate the less glamorous work of untangling troubled technology projects that didn't land the way they should have.

Industry Experience vs. The Right Capabilities

We've been having the wrong hiring conversation.

Your AI rollout is one governance skip away from becoming your next CRM disaster.

I've sat in the crisis room when a CRM implementation imploded. Customers locked out of services they paid for. Invoices wrong. Stakeholders furious. Budget blown. The team exhausted and pointing fingers.

In AI right now, who are the good guys? I'm not sure anyone knows.

An AI model capable of compromising global infrastructure sat inside one company for weeks before anyone outside knew it existed.

Your Organization Is Carrying Two Kinds of Debt. One Has a Ticket. One Doesn't.

Every tech leader knows technical debt. That comment in the code that says "fix this later." The workaround that became permanent. The system nobody wants to touch because changing one thing breaks three others.

Stop attending your key vendors' annual conferences. Host your own vendor summit instead.

Most vendor relationships follow the same script: renewal conversations, quarterly business reviews, the occasional escalation call when something breaks.
