The document discusses the process of creating and improving a Change Advisory Board (CAB) at Wake Forest University. It describes how the university initially implemented a CAB but encountered issues with slow approvals and many emergency changes. They then made several improvements, including approving changes before implementation, establishing multiple approval levels, centralizing change intake, and providing more training. The revised CAB process helped ensure changes were approved in a timely manner and implemented as planned changes rather than emergencies.
