This chapter describes the strategies for business continuity when a significant challenging event affects a hospital or other healthcare provider: the scenario is a norovirus outbreak affecting several wards and staff. The strategy includes business impact analysis and a disaster recovery plan. The importance of developing a generic response plan, rather than a response for each type of incident, is emphasized. The early involvement of the infection control team, isolating or cohorting patients, and liaison with the community are essential components of the response. The chapter describes how a ‘less serious event’ (a few reported cases) may rapidly escalate into a major incident. The business continuity plan should be implemented early, and should identify which services can be stopped, and which must continue. Finally, the importance of holding a multi-agency and multi-professional debrief meeting as soon as the incident is declared over is emphasized, with revision of the plan accordingly.

This paper focuses on business continuity management in organizations that use modern e-business technologies: the Internet, mobile computing, e-services, and virtual infrastructure. The aim is to make the shift from traditional Business Continuity Management (BCM) towards ?e-Business Continuity Management? (e-BCM) suitable for modern technological environments. We have defined a comprehensive framework for the implementation of an adaptive e-BCM adjustable to changes in the business environment. The framework consists of practical steps for defining elements of a business continuity management system: business impact analysis, risk assessment, and a business continuity plan. We have implemented and evaluated the framework within three financial organizations. The key finding is that Business Impact Analysis and the continual improvement of the Business Continuity Management System are the driving factors for the effective establishment of an adaptive e-BCM. The proposed framework is general, and can be applied to any organization that uses modern e-business technologies.

For each company, disasters may have diverse impacts either financially or non-financially. Therefore, a company requires a business continuity plan. One important factor in developing such plan is Business Impact Analysis (BIA). With BIA, a company can identify and analyze Critical Business Functions (CBFs) and potential impacts on the business whether operationally or financially, and further, business recovery priority, strategy and solution can be determined following a disaster.Methodologies used in developing this BIA are quantitativeand qualitative where for aspects related to financials, quantitive method is used. Meanwhile, for those aspects\ related to non-financial areas, qualitative method is used. The development of this BIA was done through the dissemination of questionnaires to 62 business units in PT Bank XYZ. To draw the BIA, eight parameters were used, where as for the final result, there were three criticality levels found in the business units of PT Bank XYZ, i.e. very critical level - 18 business units (29%), critical level - 23 business units (37%) and less critical level – 21 business units (34%). In addition, there were 71 applications used by CBFs. Based on the results of this study, PT Bank XYZ can determine the priority and key strategies for business units that require handling and recovery when a disaster occurs to maintain the bank's business operation's continuity and sustainability.Withthat, the company can minimize the potential loss resulted from a disaster.

Abstract The high frequency of shipping in Indonesia is directly proportional to the increase of port activities. Along with the activities, the risk of disruption that might occur also increase. The impact of a disruption can be detrimental to many parties such as crew, company, ship, cargo carried, and environment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, ports are encouraged to develop a plan that could minimize the disruption of the role that port play in keeping trade flowing and vital supplies moving. The possible impact from COVID-19 related disruption urges companies to apply the Business Continuity Management (BCM) system to deal with any potential disruption that might occur. This paper tries to identify and rank each potential disruption from COVID-19 based on severity & occurrence, House of Risk method was used with the aid of questionnaires and interviews. Furthermore, business impact analysis is conducted in order to analyse the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and how BCM helps to minimize the potential loss. Business continuity value also measured through analysing container throughput growth data.
