* Part A and B are phases done in a "day" session. Note that the phases/parts may be done on separate dates depending on the agreed project schedule. Hence the 4.5 Days may not run consecutively.
All BCM members (BU BCM Coordinator and Organisational BCM Coordinator) are to spend the minimum 4.5 days for the organisation to enjoy the funding.
Notes:
| Commitment For BU BCM Coordinator Only 5 Days (4.5 Hours + 4 Hours) |
[1] Training and Completion of Individual Business Unit Requirement
Assuming that there is only 6 hours per working day, the required hours to to attend the workshop totals 27.5 hours, equivalent to only 4-1/2 (Four and half) days.

[2] Finalised Submission for Each Phase
We would also need the BU BCM Coordinator to spend an additional 4 hours. This includes discussion with the individual department heads to ensure realistic information are provided for reports of each phase.
| Commitment For Project Manager Only 8 Days |

We would need your assistance to spend an additional 3.5 days to assist us in ensuring that the reports written by BCM Institute are realistic and in line with management's needs.
