The Problem & The Solution

Structured ODD Workflows — What They Require

ODD Workflow Challenges for Institutional Teams

Without structured tooling, ODD processes become fragmented, inconsistent and impossible to evidence for governance purposes.

  • No centralised system means ODD documentation is scattered across email, shared drives and individual spreadsheets
  • Tracking pipeline status for multiple managers simultaneously is unmanageable without dedicated workflow tooling
  • Ensuring consistent due diligence processes across all managers is impossible without systematic templates and controls
  • Annual re-diligence reminders are handled manually — creating real risk of important managers being missed
  • Providing governance evidence of ODD processes to trustees and regulators requires significant manual compilation
