Welcome to the resilience newsletter for Q4 2008. On behalf of the BCM community, we applaud the government’s recent initiative to enhance Corporate Resilience through the announcement of SPRING Singapore’s launch of the S 540:2008 standard on Business Continuity Management. SS540 is long awaited by the Singapore’s business leaders as many believe that a broad-based, government led approach is needed to deal proactively with global and regional threats - It is always vital for any business to be BCM eventuality, natural or man-made. This makes the entire business resilient, with the innate ability to sustain any interruption, recover and then resume operations in the minimum amount of time needed.
