support and each with a complete and separate set of material devoted to it. Within these main processes there are a number of sub-processes covering best practice for operations management, change management and the strategic processes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, there are inter-dependencies between them and common &#8216;best practice&#8217; themes across them all. We would also like to demonstrate to you that these processes can help you outside of the ICT arena so that you might consider this before embarking on implementation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Details of a suggested implementation timetable are listed under our section on Implementation of FITS<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whilst the FITS processes are presented separately they are most effectively implemented in a structured way. We aim to advise you on how to implement these processes in a controlled and successful manner, acknowledging the fact that you are likely to have limited resources. We therefore recommend that you read Approach to implementing FITS and Implementation of FITS before starting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitsed.org\/members\/dashboard\/\" class=\"op3-background-ancestor\" target=\"_self\" data-op-action=\"link\" data-op-popoverlay-trigger=\"none\" data-op-select-funnel-step=\"\" data-op-animation-trigger=\"none\" data-op-animation-style=\"\" data-op-animation-loop=\"0\" data-op-timer-minutes=\"0\" data-op-timer-seconds=\"0\" data-op3-smooth-scroll=\"\" data-op-effect-style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Back to Dashboard<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MEMBERS ONLY CONTENT &#8211; PLEASE LOGIN OR PURCHASE BELOW<\/p>\n<h2>FITS Member<\/h2>\n<p>This content is for members only.&nbsp; Please join us below to get instant access to FITS members area.<\/p>\n<p>Special Limited Time Offer<\/p>\n<h2>Become a member for only \u00a34.95\/m<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;We are currently offering full membership for a very special rate. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#\" class=\"op3-background-ancestor\" target=\"_self\" data-op-action=\"link\" data-op-popoverlay-trigger=\"none\" data-op-select-funnel-step=\"\" data-op-animation-trigger=\"\" data-op-animation-style=\"\" data-op-animation-loop=\"\" data-op-timer-minutes=\"\" data-op-timer-seconds=\"\" data-op3-smooth-scroll=\"\" data-op-effect-style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">GET your discounted access NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Already a member? &#8211; <a href=\"\/members\/login\">Login Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/members\/privacy-policy\" style=\"color: rgb(66, 111, 181);\">Privacy Policy<\/a> | <a href=\"\/members\/terms-of-services\/\" style=\"color: rgb(66, 111, 181);\">Terms of Services<\/a> |&nbsp;<a href=\"\/members\/cancel-membership\" style=\"color: rgb(66, 111, 181);\">Cancel Membership<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some content on this website is provided under the provisions of the Open Government License.&nbsp;All other content including, but not restricted to, website design, images logos, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Copyright&nbsp;\u00a9 2020 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/fitsed.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FITSEd<\/a>.
