In the dawn of 4th Industrial Revolution
or building on the Third, the digital
revolution that has been evolving since
the middle of the last century, resulting
in blurring of lines between human and
humanoid by fusion of technologies
between the physical, digital, and
b i o l og i ca l sphe r es has made i t
immensely important to ensure the
continuity of business in the realm of
evolving dynamics of change at
breakneck pace. Having huge systems
which impact businesses overnight by
trends in social and societal background
make it really challenging to defy the
adoption of those. Adopting those brings
another challenge of having too little
understanding as being in evolution and
resulting that puts a fear of loss of
business and causing a disruption in
continuity of business.
These changes in business landscape
are resulting in a frenzy of discussions
over Business Continuity and ability to
manage disruption and thus becoming a
core focus of an organisation and build
into a lead discipline along-side other
d i s c i p l i n e s s u c h a s b u s i n e s s
deve l opmen t , r i sk managemen t ,
disaster/crisis management and
emergency management all evolving
around the notion of business continuity
management. The discussion over this
topic will certainly increase due to ever
increasing business disruptions due to
blurring of borders between what
businesses can do and what they are
doing because of pleasing the customer
of safeguarding the business interest
against competition. Businesses have to
continue adopting the pace of the
change and ensuring the continuity of
business in challenging environments
and adding more resilience to it.
Taking cue from above KPJ Healthcare
in this era of fast evolving business
changes due to technological shift and
consumer adoption of cloud, social and
mobile requires more efforts to ensure
to maintain the best possible continuity
of business based on its Corporate
Vision i.e. “The Preferred Healthcare
Provider”. To ensure that KPJ Healthcare
provides such care in-line with the best
practices of healthcare, benchmarked
against the best in the industry and
equally best in the business world. And
