Value Creation

Measures undertaken to create value that directly contributes to strategic objectives. Examples include: - Provide website for customers to purchase financial products Provide online banking website for customers to manage their funds Operate sales team to sell financial products to clients

Value Protection

Measures undertaken to ensure firm’s ability to create value in the long term is not affected. Examples include: - Prevent criminals from using financial products for money laundering Prevent cyber criminals from gaining access to customer accounts Prevent sales team from mis-selling financial products to clients

Typically considered as similar to accelerators in cars Typically considered as similar to brakes in cars Winning cars requires effective accelerators and brakes. Similarly successful firms require optimal balance of value creation and value protection. Only firms that can find the optimal balance will be successful in the long run.

A team will be defeated even when attackers score 20 goals but if the opposite team scores 21 goals.

Resilient Not Resilient (Fragile)

  • Robust preventative controls to minimise disruption to key

business activities

  • Weaker preventative controls resulting in periodic disruption

to key business activities

  • Robust detective controls to facilitate early detection of

disruption to key business activities

  • Weaker detective controls resulting in delayed detection of

disruption to key business activities

  • Robust responsive controls to facilitate rapid recovery of

disrupted business activities

  • Weaker responsive controls resulting in delayed recovery of

disrupted to business activities

  • Lessons are learnt from failures in a structured manner and

applied to continuously improve the level of resilience

  • Lessons are not learnt from failures in a structured manner –

same type of failures re-occur

  • Periodic stress testing exercises conducted to evaluate

resilience level under different extreme & plausible scenarios

  • Stress tests are not conducted or scenarios are not extreme
  • Focus on concentration risks and minimise these were

possible

  • Little or no focus on concentration risks
  • Recognise that increasing efficiency can reduce the level of

resilience

  • Excessive focus on increasing efficiency without adequate

consideration of resilience

  • Recognise that adequate capital/reserves should be allocated

for dealing with an extreme crisis

  • Believe that allocating emergency capital/reserves is sub-optimal and

attempt to minimise these to meet regulatory requirements

  • Balanced focus on value creation and value protection
  • Excessive focus on value creation at the cost of value protection
  • Recognise that complexity as a key driver of resilience.

Complexity is managed in a structured manner.

  • Do not understand the relationship between complexity and
  • resilience. No structured approach to manage complexity.

Business Services

  • Customers mainly care about whether the service they require is available or not - irrespective of

the issues a firm may be facing with the channels, systems, processes, people. Services provide an

  • utside-in perspective enabling valuable insights on prioritising resource allocation decisions.
  • Providing alternatives to services becomes a key driver of resilience. Services with alternatives will

be considered more resilient than services without alternatives. Firms may need to create manual alternatives in some cases.

  • Mapping services to key business components will highlight constraints / vulnerabilities /

bottlenecks / dependencies

Business Services

Priority 1:

  • Services associated with primary revenue source for the firm (e.g. apply for new mortgages)
  • Services that are frequently used by customers (e.g. checking account balance, making payments)
  • Services that can cause financial harm to customers (e.g. customers unable to receive salary payments into their

bank accounts)

  • Services that can impact a large number of customers if disrupted in peak time (e.g. online banking website down

between 12pm and 2pm on weekdays)

  • Services that can impact other firms who rely on the service (e.g. Tesco Bank relying on Travelex services for

providing foreign exchange services)

  • Services that can impact the wider financial system of a nation or region (e.g. VISA or Mastercard unable to

provide credit card processing service)

  • Services meeting above criteria and where no alternative services are available

Priority 2

  • Services associated with secondary revenue source for the firm (e.g. revenues from providing financial advise)
  • Services that are infrequently used by customers (e.g. pay electricity bills in bank branches)
  • Services that are not considered time sensitive by customers (e.g. getting access to bank account statements)

Priority 3

  • All other services not covered above

Initial Setup

1. Identify and document key business services 2. Map business services to business components such as processes, assets, products etc. 3. Define the methodology to assess resilience (e.g. setting impact tolerances, scenarios) 4. Embed resilience methodology into existing risk management processes (e.g. operational risk, business continuity management) 5. Define impact tolerances for business services 6. Review and update service disruption communication strategy for external stakeholders (e.g. customers, regulators) 7. Review and update resilience reporting processes at the business unit and group level 8. Review and update processes to analyse service disruptions and implement the lessons learnt

On-going

1. Periodically update the business services to reflect changes to the business components 2. Periodically assess services to identify whether the defined impact tolerances can be met 3. Periodically review and update impact tolerances 4. Evaluate services as part of any business decision making (e.g. launching new products) or change management initiatives (e.g. outsourcing a critical IT system) 5. Evaluate services when there material changes occur within the internal or external business environment Business Services
