CBF-10 Partnership & Community Network Management
Partnerships and community networks are foundational to SHINE Children and Youth Services’ ability to deliver holistic, timely, and sustainable support to children, youths, and families.
Through collaboration with schools, government agencies, community partners, donors, and social service organisations, SHINE extends its reach, optimises resources, and strengthens service continuity—especially during disruptions or crises.
Critical Business Function CBF-10: Partnership & Community Network Management focuses on ensuring that these collaborative relationships remain functional, trusted, and practical under all circumstances.
From a business continuity perspective, this function safeguards SHINE’s support ecosystem, enabling coordinated responses, shared resources, and uninterrupted service delivery.
The Business Unit Minimum Business Continuity Objective (BU-MBCO) for each Sub-CBF reflects the minimum acceptable level of performance required to prevent material impact on beneficiaries, reputation, funding confidence, and statutory obligations.

CBF-10 ensures that collaborative relationships remain stable, functional, and responsive—even under adverse conditions—thereby protecting SHINE’s capacity to serve vulnerable children and youths.
By clearly defining Sub-CBFs and their corresponding Business Unit MBCOs, SHINE establishes realistic continuity expectations that prioritise trust, coordination, and shared responsibility. This structured approach strengthens organisational resilience, supports faster recovery, and reinforces SHINE’s role as a reliable community partner committed to sustained impact and collective wellbeing.
CBF-10 Partnership & Community Network Management
Partnerships and community networks are central to SHINE Children and Youth Services’ ability to deliver holistic, accessible, and sustainable programmes for children, youth, and families.
Through collaborations with schools, government agencies, community partners, donors, and volunteers, SHINE extends its reach, optimises resources, and enhances service quality.
This section assesses the impact areas of disruptions to the CBF-10 Partnership & Community Network Management. In accordance with BCMPedia’s Impact Area framework, the analysis considers financial, operational, reputational, compliance, and service delivery implications.
Understanding these impacts enables SHINE to prioritise recovery actions, protect its Minimum Business Continuity Objectives (MBCO), and sustain trust within its community ecosystem during and after a disruption.

The impact analysis of CBF-10 Partnership & Community Network Management highlights that disruptions in partnership-related functions extend beyond immediate financial losses.
They can significantly affect SHINE’s service delivery capability, reputation, stakeholder confidence, and long-term sustainability.
Several Sub-CBFs—particularly Partnership Development, Network Coordination, Resource Sharing, and Conflict Resolution—directly influence SHINE’s ability to meet its Minimum Business Continuity Objectives (MBCO).
Proactive management of these impact areas strengthens organisational resilience and ensures that SHINE can continue to serve children, youth, and families effectively, even under adverse conditions.
By clearly understanding and documenting these impact areas, SHINE is well positioned to prioritise recovery strategies, allocate resources effectively, and reinforce its vital role within the community network it supports.
