New call-to-actionPart 5: Inter-dependencies

In the context of business continuity planning for CBF-1: Dispute Management and Advisory Services (via TADM), understanding inter-dependencies is critical to ensuring seamless service delivery during both normal operations and disruptions.

The nature of TAL’s role as a tripartite-led body,  working in partnership with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), means that multiple internal departments, government entities, and external service providers contribute to the end-to-end case management process.

This chapter identifies and analyses the internal and external inter-dependencies that are essential for the execution of each sub-process within CBF-1.

 

Part 6: Vital Records

Vital records are essential documents and information repositories that enable the continued performance, legal compliance, and recovery of critical business functions during and after a disruption.

For CBF-1 Dispute Management and Advisory Services (via TADM), the ability to access and safeguard vital records is crucial for maintaining operational integrity, supporting dispute resolution workflows, and ensuring the preservation of public trust.

This section identifies the vital records associated with each Sub-CBF and classifies them by media type, physical or digital location, and the individual or team responsible for their custody.

[BCM] [TAL] [E3] [BIA] [T3] [CBF] [1] Dispute Management and Advisory Services (via TADM)

In the context of business continuity planning for CBF-1: Dispute Management and Advisory Services (via TADM), understanding inter-dependencies is critical to ensuring seamless service delivery during both normal operations and disruptions.

The nature of TAL’s role as a tripartite-led body,  working in partnership with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), means that multiple internal departments, government entities, and external service providers contribute to the end-to-end case management process.

This chapter identifies and analyses the internal and external inter-dependencies that are essential for the execution of each sub-process within CBF-1.

Dependencies are classified as upstream, downstream, or mutual, based on how the flow of information, resources, or decisions supports the continuity of operations.

Recognising these inter-dependencies enables TAL to manage potential vulnerabilities proactively, align stakeholder expectations, and develop resilient workarounds or contingency strategies to support continued dispute resolution services through the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM).

This is the table "Part 5: Inter-dependencies" for the critical business function CBF-1 Dispute Management and Advisory Services (via TADM), based on the provided Sub-CBFs and following the structure recommended in BCMpedia – Part 5: Inter-dependencies:

Summing Up ... Part 5

A comprehensive understanding of inter-dependencies provides the foundation for effective contingency planning and coordinated response in times of disruption.

The analysis in this chapter underscores the critical role that collaborative relationships and system linkages play in the success of CBF-1: Dispute Management and Advisory Services.

Whether through reliance on MOM's enforcement systems, engagement with external mediators, or integration with case management IT platforms, these dependencies directly impact the continuity and quality of service provided to individuals and organisations seeking resolution.

As TAL continues to enhance its Business Continuity Management (BCM) framework, it is essential to maintain updated inter-dependency maps and to cultivate strong partnerships with both internal units and external stakeholders.

This will not only bolster operational resilience but also ensure that TAL remains a trusted and responsive partner in Singapore’s tripartite framework, even in the face of crisis or disruption.
