Change management requires expertise from various parts of an organization to oversee and implement changes effectively. Stakeholder involvement is crucial for comprehensive review, risk identification, and successful implementation.

In plain words

Supplementary — not from your PDF

Effective change management needs expertise from IT (technical), business leaders (operational) and compliance officers (legal). Stakeholder involvement gives a comprehensive review, uncovers non-obvious risks and improves adoption. Ownership means someone is responsible for implementing the change; stakeholders are those affected and must be kept informed.
