What is the OAR framework?
Olmstead’s OAR framework consists of a series of operations, data and technology reviews targeted on strategic processes. It provides an end to-end review from front office/client-facing delivery through back office sourcing and execution.
How is the OAR framework different?
Historically, traditional operational reviews were executed in silos focusing on a specific business component. Although slight efficiency gains may have been achieved, they often fail to benefit the end consumer.
Who can benefit from an OAR study?
New CEOs or COOs seeking an independent assessment of their operations, asset managers undergoing M&A activity, and those in need of an outsourcing or technology assessment are all excellent candidates.
What is the outcome of an OAR study?
An OAR study will produce a list of actionable initiatives, a strategic roadmap, and will benefit from the use of one or more of the transformation levers below.
