We all know it can be a challenge to fit training into your busy daily routine. Between back-to-back meetings, chat messages from co-workers, and the long list of tasks that are due by the end of the week. For some learners, this is where on-demand training proves particularly helpful. You can fit it into your schedule when you have free time. But what do you do if you never get that coveted free time? This is where instructor-led training takes center stage. Block off your calendar (with permission from your boss, of course), mute the chats, and focus on LIVE learning. Attending a live training course with expert instructors allows you to devote your undivided attention to taking that next step in your OneStream journey. OneStream instructor-led training provides you with the ability to ask clarifying questions and get immediate answers and feedback. It allows you to gain exposure to how other users in the same (or differing) industries use OneStream. For example, you might participat
