Importance of Change Management Implementation

Let us look at the top five best-known practices of change management, which, when executed properly, allow organizations to reduce risk and increase IT efficiency and effectiveness. The practices include:

	Creating the "top to bottom approach" to promote the need for a culture of IT change management that adopts a zero tolerance approach to unauthorized changes across the enterprise.
	Monitoring the number of unplanned outages continually to prevent unauthorized changes and retain maximum control on IT modifications.
	Implementing Risk Mitigation on changes implemented and allowed by specifying well-defined change maintenance windows and enforcing them.
	Measuring change success rates and using them as benchmark for key IT management performance indicator.
