How this maps to your situation

  • When rolling out updated change management protocols
  • During internal audit preparation cycles
  • Before service contract renewals
  • After major incident post-mortems

Before vs. after

Before
Reactive approval cycles and shared ownership blur decision authority in service management.
After
Clear, documented decision rights over ISO 20000 processes with defensible control points.
