BCM Through BRF
BCM Through BRF
Abstract
Business resilience is built on business continuity principles but extends to help
boost an organization's immune system to cope with challenges, fend off attacks,
heal illnesses, and bounce back faster. Business continuity is process-centered,
while business resilience is more strategic in the form of a holistic approach that is
influenced by the unique interaction between a combination of strategic and
operational factors. BS 65000 explains that organizations can identify specific
indicators of resilience for their business using the business continuity function.
Once identified, these indicators interact with each other to form networks that can
bounce back from the most disruptive events. Also integrating a BCM program into
a resilience program will allow the organization to not only be ready for an event
but to continue taking recovery steps as well.
This study suggests a new framework for evaluating business continuity
through business resilience metrics and for assessing the sustainability and
performance of businesses and their interdependencies taking into account the
effects of technical, social, organizational and economic issues (TOSE).
Researchers use groups of dimensions, parameters, performance characteristics,
or evaluation criteria to measure resilience and measure the potential impact of a
disruption scenario on business continuity. This framework implements the Triple
Bottom Line (TBL) concept which consists of 3 (three) layers: Profit, People, and
Planet, representing Economic Performance, Social Performance and
Environmental Performance. Each of these layers' performance uses a different
metric method (CAMEL, PEOPLES, and SNA) to measure resilience that reflects
an organization's viability.
