Consolidated Report for Impact Area Of Business Functions for CBF-1 to CBF-9 for Kinderland

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the Critical Business Functions (CBFs) for Kinderland Singapore, outlining the essential business operations and processes that ensure the organisation'ss resilience and continuity.

The 9 CBFs span various sectors, each contributing to Kinderland's overall operational integrity. These CBFs are integral to maintaining the organisation’s ability to deliver its services effectively, even during crises or disruptions.

Each CBF is further decomposed into its respective Sub-Critical Business Functions (Sub-CBFs), which specify the tasks and responsibilities that must continue under all circumstances.

The financial implications of potential disruptions to these functions are also explored, alongside their impact on Kinderland’s Minimum Business Continuity Objectives (MBCOs).

This approach ensures that the organisation is prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to any disruptions, safeguarding both the services provided and the people who rely on them.

By understanding the detailed structure of these CBFs, Kinderland can develop strategies that maintain operational continuity, minimise risks, and mitigate financial losses during adverse conditions.

This chapter serves as a critical reference for establishing robust business continuity plans that align with Kinderland’s mission to empower children and youth through comprehensive services.
