Is Your Change Advisory Board (CAB) Preventing Incidents — Or Just Creating the Illusion That It Is?
Webinar Speaker: Deanne Larson, Research Fellow
Date: Tuesday, March 31, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET
Most organizations can't quantify change risk accurately with data. CAB meetings consume significant time and resources, yet teams don't know how to improve outcomes. Change processes are outdated and not built for today's pace of change and scale of IT complexity, making the CAB ineffective at preventing incidents.
In this webinar, we'll show you how to measure CAB effectiveness. You'll learn how to track the metrics that matter: change-related incident rates, risk score accuracy, team performance trends, and the real impact of your approval process on reliability.
The outcome: Shorter, more focused CAB meetings. Fewer change-related incidents. Lower costs are associated with shorter incident response.
The session includes a live product walkthrough of BigPanda AI Incident Prevention’s Change Analytics dashboard, led by a BigPanda expert, and guidance on interpreting and acting on what you find. If you're responsible for change governance, reliability, or operational risk, this webinar will give you a concrete framework for evaluating your CAB's effectiveness—and the tools to act on what you learn.
