Training-led BCM Implementation

This series is part of the reading for participants embarking on a BCM implementation or updating of the existing BCM programme using a combination of training with funding from the Singapore government and supported by a separate consulting team to develop, implement and finalise its BCM program for an organisation. 

Each BCM planning phase will be conducted as a series of 3-hour online workshops. Participants are expected to complete the template or update their unit's previous submission before attending the online workshop.

Click the respective icon (below) to find out more about the implementation process. The first row is the three-module training set. An example of the first module is BCM-310 (course code), which will meet the requirements for Phase 2 (RAR) and Phase 3 (BIA) of the BCM planning methodology. 

If you would like to find out more details about the course, such as the syllabus and participant expectations, read "Course Overview" and "Course Description."

Additional BCM Support Work

When incorporating HRD Corp Claimable competency-based training into the overall BCM project, certain information is required to kickstart a working framework for the engagement. 

This includes the review of the submissions for the RAR, BIA, BCS and PD by the participants from each department.  You can have the RAR, BIA and BCS report to be complied with and reviewed.  This additional support work, if needed, will be taken up separately with BCM Institute's program team.

BCM Project Initiation Support Work

This is the 2-day or four  3-hour online sessions to set up the BCM project.  It is optional but we recommend that the project team attend this course.
