2. The Op Risk function views the outsourcing risk assessment process in four distinct steps:
   • Business Plan (Op Risk Review is provided)
   • Invitation to Tender (Op Risk Review is provided)
   • Vendor Selection & Negotiation (Op Risk is actively involved in the selection process)
   • Monitoring (Op Risk helps define key risk indicators)
3. Key outsourcing lessons learned:
   • Keep the entire outsourcing risk assessment simple. Just having Op Risk involved can be a big step forward.
   • Ensure that the outsourcing process owner brings Op Risk into the process as early as possible.
