GBS Change Advisory Board Implementation - Executive Decision Made Where are we and How did we get here? • Executive Decision • The Change Advisory Board was established to be the permanent executive management group for the SGBS – they will be responsible for reviewing changes submitted through the CAB process • GBS Executive management team has approved a standard process that should be followed for requesting changes to any policy, process or procedure at the GBS. • Why – maintain process design, consistency , and standardization of changes. • A system (Service-now) has been developed to support the process/approval flow of change requests submitted -- logging, tracking, and approving Change Requests. • GBS staff should follow the procedures – all stakeholders • If a change in Scope, System, Policy, Process or Procedure is needed, the change should be requested, logged and tracked by the GBS/CAB PMO • Process Leads will be involved in all change requests. Their role will be to assess, analyze and discuss the change with all stake holders and present it to the Change Advisory Board (CAB) as needed • No change should be made to the GBS Procedures unless approved by the Process Lead/CAB PMO ●
