ODD ADVISORY PARTNER
Specialist ODD expertise,
embedded into your process.
A flexible advisory partnership providing additional capacity, specialist expertise and independent challenge across an asset owner's operational due diligence program.
ODD Support
Your team,
supported by
ours.
Internal ODD teams often need to manage changing workloads, increasingly complex investments and specialist risks while maintaining consistent institutional standards.
ORC's ODD Advisory Partner solution provides flexible access to experienced ODD practitioners who work alongside the client's existing team, supporting individual reviews, methodology, governance and wider program development.
The Partnership Model
Support where and when
it is needed.
The model is designed to complement existing internal capabilities rather than replace them, allowing clients to draw on ORC's resources in the areas that create the greatest value.
01
Additional Capacity
Increase ODD capacity during periods of higher transaction activity, portfolio expansion or resource constraints without permanently increasing internal headcount.
02
Specialist Expertise
Access experienced practitioners across asset classes, operating models, jurisdictions and specialist operational risk areas when additional expertise is required.
03
Independent Challenge
Add an independent perspective to individual assessments, risk ratings, remediation decisions and the broader development of the ODD framework.
