CM Project Team establishment stage was followed by the formulation of the Project Management project plan. Note that the BC team is already in place.  The plan comprises:

  • Establish CM Project Organization Structure
    • CM Roles and Responsibilities (integrating with BC Team)
  • Project objective
    • The objective is to ensure the safety of human life and to protect stakeholders' interests (including financial, reputation and compliance with regulations) by building business resilience during a catastrophic event.  The scope is widened to encompass Crisis Scenarios not covered by the BC Plan.

  • Project scope
    • CM plans in ABC covered 5 (five) different premises including Head Office, Two Water Treatment Plants, Water Facilities, and a warehouse.

  • Project Timeline
    • With the assumption that the project will take 9 months, we set up a project timeline to ensure the project can be done in a timely manner.
    • Apart from the timeline, we also agreed to conduct monthly meetings to discuss the project reports and obstacles so they can be run smoothly.
    • From time to time, we also update the senior management on the progress.

After the team and the plan had been established, we conducted a kick-off which aimed to gain commitment across the members of the company including the senior Management.

The kick-off was attended by almost all of the senior management. The project was formally started with this kickoff meeting.
