← OCRR assessment overview

OCRR / Financial resilience

Give resilience decisions a financial context.

Connect recovery assumptions with recovery expenditure, revenue disruption, liquidity and continuing business commitments. Give finance and operations a shared basis for discussing priorities.

What we provide

Financial resilience information.
In a business context.

Your overall OCRR rating is supported by four connected discipline results. These are the areas of information explored within financial resilience, with organisation-specific detail developed through Guided.

01 / OUTPUT

Recovery expenditure

Analysis of recovery labour, specialist support and relevant third-party costs under the stated assumptions.

02 / OUTPUT

Revenue and operating commitments

Context for discussing reduced revenue alongside recovery outgoings and ongoing business obligations.

03 / OUTPUT

Investment comparisons

Through Elevated, compare proposed changes with the Guided position to explore costs, benefits and trade-offs.

From information to decisions

The questions behind the findings.

The assessment makes assumptions visible and highlights what needs closer review.

Recovery resource costs

Decision question What resource commitment do the assumed arrangements require?

Information and evidence to review Recovery scope, labour requirements, specialist rates and external support costs.

Revenue and disruption assumptions

Decision question How do the affected activities relate to the financial effects?

Information and evidence to review Service relationships, revenue and contribution treatment, duration and possible overlap with productivity effects.

Liquidity and funding

Decision question Can the business fund recovery while meeting ongoing commitments?

Information and evidence to review Available cash, funding access, continuing obligations and finance evidence of actual liquidity.

Improvement appraisal

Decision question Does a proposed change justify further investigation or investment?

Information and evidence to review Comparable assumptions, implementation, transition and ongoing costs, feasibility and evidence of effect.

Use the outputs as decision support under stated assumptions. Modelled differences are not guaranteed cash savings, and a change in rating is not a percentage reduction in financial risk.

How the detail develops

Start with Industry Defaults.
Build on your baseline.

02 / REFINE

Guided

After completing Industry Defaults, build on that starting point, adjusting your organisation-specific information in eight distinct domains (~500 accessible fields). Refine the rating, compare multi-discipline breakdowns and identify improvement priorities. Scope and commercial terms agreed separately.

03 / APPRAISE

Elevated TTP Options Assessment

Build on the Industry Defaults and Guided findings to compare proposed policy, process or technology changes. Our consultants work with members of one or more of your different operational, data, storage, security and financial teams to assess your elevated resilience goals.

An OCRR assessment supports prioritisation. Operational exercises and technical evidence are needed to validate whether arrangements deliver the required outcome.

Bring your resilience questions into focus.

Every OCRR journey starts with an Industry Defaults Assessment.
