Ensuring Service Continuity: BCM Implementation for Employment & Employability

This eBook offers a detailed, real-world account of how Business Continuity Management (BCM) has been systematically implemented within Singapore’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i).

Explicitly designed for e2i’s internal BCM and risk professionals, this publication also serves as a reference for business continuity practitioners across sectors who are implementing ISO 22301-aligned frameworks.

At the core of this book is a comprehensive breakdown of the Business Continuity Management Planning Methodology, tailored for e2i’s operations.

The methodology is structured into seven progressive phases:

• Project Management (PM) – Establishing scope, governance, and resource planning
• Risk Analysis and Review (RAR) – Identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities
• Business Impact Analysis (BIA) – Determining critical functions and recovery priorities
• Business Continuity Strategy (BCS) – Developing feasible strategies for continuity and recovery
• Plan Development (PD) – Documenting response, recovery, and resumption procedures
• Testing and Exercising (TE) – Validating plans through drills and exercises
• Program Management (PgM) – Sustaining the BCM effort through reviews and updates

Beyond methodology, this eBook explains the purpose, assumptions, and structure of e2i’s BCM framework—providing invaluable insights into how BCM teams operate in practice.

Whether you are a BCM coordinator, business unit leader, or supporting professional, this guide helps you understand and implement a resilient continuity strategy.
