1
00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:02,130
Procedures.

2
00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:05,040
Procedures are the lifeblood of any organization.

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,830
They provide a structured approach to various tasks,

4
00:00:07,830 --> 00:00:10,020
ensuring consistency, efficiency,

5
00:00:10,020 --> 00:00:12,270
and compliance with standards.

6
00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:14,910
Procedures are systematic sequences of actions

7
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:17,970
or steps taken to achieve a specific outcome.

8
00:00:17,970 --> 00:00:20,970
They are essential in various fields and industries.

9
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:23,010
For example, company might have

10
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:25,440
an emergency evacuation procedure.

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,779
This procedure outlines the steps that employees should take

12
00:00:28,779 --> 00:00:31,140
in case of an emergency such as a fire

13
00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:33,090
or a natural disaster.

14
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:34,860
It typically includes information

15
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:37,590
on evacuation routes, assembly points,

16
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:41,430
and roles and responsibility during this evacuation.

17
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:44,640
Another example might be a data backup procedure.

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,620
This procedure details how

19
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:50,430
and when data should be backed up to prevent data loss.

20
00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:53,130
It might include steps for daily incremental backups,

21
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:54,480
weekly full backups,

22
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,720
and testing of backups to ensure data integrity.

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:58,620
In this lesson,

24
00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:01,650
we're going to cover procedures that you should know about.

25
00:01:01,650 --> 00:01:03,683
These are change management procedures,

26
00:01:03,683 --> 00:01:07,770
onboarding and offboarding procedures, and playbooks.

27
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:09,750
First, change management.

28
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:11,820
Change management is a systematic approach

29
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:14,430
to dealing with changes within an organization.

30
00:01:14,430 --> 00:01:15,263
This could be anything

31
00:01:15,263 --> 00:01:17,310
from implementing a new software system

32
00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:19,500
to restructuring the organization.

33
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:21,030
The goal of change management

34
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:24,180
is to ensure that changes are implemented smoothly

35
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:28,560
and successfully with minimal disruptions to operations.

36
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,060
The change management procedure

37
00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:32,280
typically involves several stages.

38
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,860
First, the need for change is identified

39
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:37,290
and the potential impacts are assessed.

40
00:01:37,290 --> 00:01:39,150
Next, a plan is developed

41
00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:41,730
detailing how the change will be implemented,

42
00:01:41,730 --> 00:01:42,930
who will be involved

43
00:01:42,930 --> 00:01:45,660
and what resources will be required.

44
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:48,990
Once the plan is in place, the change is implemented

45
00:01:48,990 --> 00:01:51,420
often in stages to allow for any issues

46
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:53,310
to be addressed promptly.

47
00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:55,500
Finally, once the change is complete

48
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:58,920
a review is conducted to assess the success of the change

49
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,233
and identify any lessons learned.

50
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,670
Changes in an organization need to be carefully planned,

51
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:09,000
taken into account how they will impact related parts.

52
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,750
For significant changes it's a good idea to test them first.

53
00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:14,940
Every change should have a backup plan

54
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:19,940
to roll back if it leads to negative or unexpected results.

55
00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:22,860
If changes might disrupt the system or workflow,

56
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:24,900
they should be scheduled carefully.

57
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:28,080
Often, during a designated maintenance window.

58
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,970
After implementing the change,

59
00:02:29,970 --> 00:02:32,010
its effects should be evaluated

60
00:02:32,010 --> 00:02:34,710
and the entire process should be reviewed

61
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:39,570
and recorded to learn lessons for future change projects.

62
00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:42,360
Next up, onboarding and offboarding procedures.

63
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,750
Onboarding and offboarding critical procedures

64
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:47,670
for managing employees.

65
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:50,190
Onboarding is the process of integrating new employees

66
00:02:50,190 --> 00:02:51,810
into the organization.

67
00:02:51,810 --> 00:02:52,770
Offboarding, on the other hand,

68
00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:55,050
is the process of managing the transition

69
00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:57,090
when an employee leaves.

70
00:02:57,090 --> 00:03:00,060
The onboarding procedure typically includes an orientation

71
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:02,850
to introduce the new employee to the organization,

72
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:05,550
training to equip them with the necessary skills,

73
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:07,740
knowledge and integration activities

74
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:10,140
to help them become part of the team.

75
00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:12,120
The goal of onboarding is to ensure

76
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,950
that new employees are productive

77
00:03:13,950 --> 00:03:16,830
and engaged as quickly as possible.

78
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:18,420
Offboarding on the other hand,

79
00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:21,420
involves tasks such as retrieving company property,

80
00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:25,620
disabling access to systems, and conducting exit interviews.

81
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:28,890
The goal of offboarding is to ensure a smooth transition,

82
00:03:28,890 --> 00:03:32,220
both for the departing employee and the organization,

83
00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:34,380
and to gather feedback that can be used

84
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:35,793
to improve the organization.

85
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,160
Finally, playbooks. A playbook is a checklist of actions

86
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,170
that you need to perform in order to detect

87
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:46,230
and respond to a specific type of incident.

88
00:03:46,230 --> 00:03:47,910
Playbooks are detailed guides

89
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:50,040
that outline how specific tasks

90
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,530
or processes should be carried out.

91
00:03:52,530 --> 00:03:54,660
They provide a step-by-step guide

92
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:57,390
ensuring that tasks are performed consistently

93
00:03:57,390 --> 00:04:01,740
and efficiently regardless of who is performing them.

94
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:04,380
Playbooks can cover a wide range of tasks

95
00:04:04,380 --> 00:04:06,840
from responding to a cybersecurity incident

96
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,000
to handling a customer complaint.

97
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,930
They typically include

98
00:04:09,930 --> 00:04:12,300
information on the resources required,

99
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:15,690
the steps to be taken, and the expected outcomes.

100
00:04:15,690 --> 00:04:17,760
Playbooks are often used in situations

101
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,279
where consistency and speed are critical,

102
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,730
such as in IT operations or customer service.

103
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:26,190
So, remember, procedures play a crucial role

104
00:04:26,190 --> 00:04:27,540
in any organization.

105
00:04:27,540 --> 00:04:30,000
They provide a structured approach to various tasks,

106
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,920
ensure consistency, efficiency,

107
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,080
and compliance with standards.

108
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,120
Change management is a systematic approach

109
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,580
to dealing with changes within an organization.

110
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:41,940
Ensuring a smooth implementation with minimal disruption.

111
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:43,530
Onboarding and offboarding procedures

112
00:04:43,530 --> 00:04:45,750
manages the transition of employees.

113
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:47,910
And playbooks are detailed guides

114
00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:50,280
that outline how specific tasks

115
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:52,620
or processes should be carried out

116
00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:55,593
ensuring consistency and efficiency.
