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 finalize its BCM program for an organisation. 

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

Additional BCM Support Work.  When incorporating HRD Corp Claimable competency-based training as part of the overall BCM project, certain information is required to kick start 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 have the option to 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 a BCM Institute's program team.
