Back in the “ODD gym”
In many ways, our incredible variety of ODD engagements is akin to our analysts working out in the ODD gym. It is literally a full body workout and that leads to great benefits for our ‘ODD brain’ and for client outcomes. For those that use the gym to spin, you might find your bench press remains light… The variety of our work helps keep us, as a team, “match fit” and we constantly take new knowledge and experience, discuss with the team and clients, and apply going forward, combining with industry, regulatory and other macro events to ensure we remain on point in terms of the scope and depth of our ODD.
Join us for a “Workout”?
By way of an example, our ODD Therapy (akin to a HIIT-class for investment managers ‘IM’) can quickly identify weaknesses and transform ODD preparedness. Similar to a PT, we will organise and implement a plan to ensure the IM meets the needs of an ODD review and avoid ODD veto’s.
