Safeguarding Learning Continuity: The Business Continuity Management Journey of the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT)

In today’s fast-evolving education landscape, the ability to sustain teaching, research, and operational excellence amidst disruptions is vital.

Safeguarding Learning Continuity chronicles the Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) journey in implementing a comprehensive Business Continuity Management (BCM) programme aligned with ISO 22301 standards.

This eBook serves as a practical guide for BCM coordinators, risk professionals, and institutional leaders, providing an understanding of how SIT has integrated resilience into its core operations.

Through the lens of SIT’s experience, readers will gain insight into the structured Business Continuity Management Planning Methodology, which comprises seven key phases:

• Project Management (PM): Establishing governance, scope, and leadership support for BCM implementation.
• Risk Analysis and Review (RAR): Identifying potential threats and assessing vulnerabilities that may impact academic and administrative operations.
• Business Impact Analysis (BIA): Determining critical business functions (CBFs) and prioritising recovery objectives.
• Business Continuity Strategy (BCS): Developing effective continuity and recovery strategies to ensure learning and service resilience.
• Plan Development (PD): Documenting actionable business continuity plans for SIT’s schools, centres, and administrative departments.
• Testing and Exercising (TE): Validating plans through realistic drills and simulations to enhance readiness.
• Program Management (PgM): Sustaining the BCM programme through continuous improvement, monitoring, and training.

The eBook also provides a roadmap for implementing, updating, and managing an institution-wide BCM programme, enabling SIT to safeguard learning continuity and institutional reputation during crises.

Whether you are a BCM coordinator, operational resilience professional, or risk management practitioner, this guide offers actionable lessons and templates applicable to any educational or public-sector environment.
