Change Manager
The change log and the process live apart
A change is approved in one tool while the procedure stays untouched in another, so the organisation keeps working the old way.
Most change fails because the new way of working is never written down anywhere people look. Here, an approved change updates the routine, the owner and the version history in one move.
Change registers track decisions. They rarely track whether the way of working actually moved.
Change Manager
A change is approved in one tool while the procedure stays untouched in another, so the organisation keeps working the old way.
Process Owner
Approval has a clear owner. Implementation, communication and verification often do not, so adoption is left to chance.
Compliance / Audit
Without version history on the routine itself, demonstrating controlled change becomes a manual reconstruction exercise.
01
Every request is a case attached to the routines it affects — so scope, impact and affected roles are visible before approval.
02
An approved change points at the routine to revise and the role responsible for revising it. Closure means the documentation moved, not just the decision.
03
The routine's own history is the audit trail: what changed, who changed it, when and against which approval.
04
Because processes carry role ownership and dependencies, you can see which teams and interfaces a change touches before it ships.

It is the system for requesting, assessing, approving and implementing changes to how an organisation works or what it operates. An effective one connects the approval to the documentation and roles the change affects.
Both patterns fit. The mechanics are the same: a request, an impact assessment against documented processes and roles, an approval, an implemented update and verified closure.
Adoption improves when the new way of working is written where people already look, owned by a named role, and visible in version history. That removes the gap between decision and practice.
Yes. Approval steps, criteria and thresholds are configured as part of the case type — what changes is that closure requires the affected routine to be updated.
Yes. Change cases and routine version histories export as PDF reports, which is what auditors ask for when testing controlled change.
Change control depends on documented processes and clear roles. Start there.
The system a change lands in: processes, owners, versions and cases.
