IT Changes Managed

Quality IT Change Management is rare

In businesses there is always a drive to get the job done, and very rarely do IT departments have all the resources they need.
This often leads to:

  • Technical staff making risky changes on the fly believing they are doing the right thing for the business .
  • Complacency creeping in through personal relationships “ I know him so I’ll trust it’s going to get done correctly”
  • Or simply having no support in place for staff to check their ideas and plans before they take the leap to implementation.

In all of these cases the business doesn’t get the information they need from IT to effectively manage their risks.
