Up until recently I worked for a company worth anything, and you would be surprised at how many major outages were caused by either skipping the process or gaps in the process.

You know that adage: "the safety rules are written in blood"? The same is true for change processes, just with a cost measured in dollars instead of human injury/worse.

So we called this meeting to discuss a change in procedures. HR would like us to remind you that this is entirely unrelated to last week. Also has anyone seen Joe? We'd like him to be here for this. No reason why.

Or sometimes there are just multiple failures. That's what I learned from reading Admiral Cloudberg about air disasters: even if you have n safety measures, there's still the chance that there'll be n+1 failures.
