[BCM] [KL] [E4] [CR] [BIA] [P3] Impact Over Time of Business Functions for CBF-1 to CBF-9

This section outlines the methodology for assessing New call-to-actionthe "impact over time" of the twelve Critical Business Functions (CBFs) within SHINE.

Rather than evaluating disruptions as a static event, this approach recognises that impact severity often escalates the longer a function remains inoperative.

The Impact Over Time framework provides a structured view of how critical operations degrade over predefined time intervals, ranging from the initial 4 hours to 60 days.

Using a standardised impact rating scale from 1 (minimal impact) to 5 (catastrophic impact), each business function is assessed for its effects on operational continuity, financial performance, legal obligations, reputational standing, and health and safety.

[BCM] [KL] [E4] [CR] [BIA] [P3] Impact Over Time of Business Function for CBFTable P3: Impact Over Time of Business Functions presents a structured analysis of how disruptions affect Kinderland Singapore’s Critical Business Functions (CBF-1 to CBF-9) as outage durations increase.

This table is a core component of the Business Impact Analysis (BIA), enabling the organisation to understand the escalating operational, safety, regulatory, financial, and reputational consequences of prolonged service interruptions.

By assessing impact severity across defined time intervals—from immediate disruption (4 hours) to extended outages (up to 60 days)—this analysis highlights the point at which each sub-function becomes critically impaired.

The table supports evidence-based decision-making by identifying tolerance thresholds, prioritising recovery sequencing, and informing the establishment of Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs).

Collectively, the insights derived from CBF-1 to CBF-9 provide a holistic view of Kinderland’s operational resilience across academic delivery, child welfare, stakeholder engagement, administrative support, technology enablement, and facilities management.

Legend – Impact Scores
  • 1 = Negligible Impact (Very Low)
  • 2 = Minor Impact (Low)
  • 3 = Moderate Impact (Medium)
  • 4 = Major Impact (High)
  • 5 = Critical/Catastrophic Impact (Very High)
Key Notes
  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective): Indicates the acceptable downtime before severe impact begins.
  • MTPD (Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption): Maximum allowable time the sub-function can be disrupted before irrecoverable consequences occur.
  • Vulnerable Period: Timeframes in which disruption has amplified effects (e.g., audits, contract renewals, public reporting).

Table P3 presents a consolidated, time-based view of impact escalation across all nine critical business functions, reinforcing the interdependencies among educational operations, child safety, staff availability, financial sustainability, digital systems, and physical infrastructure at Kinderland Singapore.

The analysis demonstrates that while certain functions may tolerate short-term disruption, prolonged outages significantly amplify risks—particularly in areas related to child wellbeing, regulatory compliance, parent confidence, and organisational reputation.

The insights captured in this table serve as a foundational input for subsequent business continuity and disaster recovery planning activities.

By clearly illustrating when impacts become unacceptable, the table enables management to prioritise resource allocation, define realistic recovery strategies, and strengthen preparedness for disruptive scenarios.

Ultimately, this impact-over-time assessment supports Kinderland Singapore’s commitment to safeguarding children, maintaining service continuity, and ensuring long-term operational resilience.
