New version of QMS includes risk based thinking, so first of all you have to conduct the business risk assessment of each unit/department and have to do it documented and communicated. After which you have to distribute/assign responsibilities regarding control measures raised in risk assessment. This whole will have to be modified in context of the organization. Further more other things are almost same...

There was nothing added in 2008, but it was more precise about the interpretation of the standard in version  ISO 9001:2015. In the new version, organization are strongly encouraged as an  to use risk analysis in order to decide which challenges you see in the management of your business processes. ISO 9001:2015 has ten clauses instead of eight. The first three clauses in ISO 9001:2015 are largely the same as those in ISO 9001:2008, but there are considerable differences between ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 9001:2015 from the fourth clause onwards. The last seven clauses are now arranged according to the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act)

On a broader perspective, the main changes between 2008 standard and 2015 standard is

* context - the capability of the organization to be clearly defined.

* Org knowledge - every organisation should have a mechanism to collect data and learn from them.

The above changes really promote to the betterment of the Quality Management System.

The 9001:2015 also has 4.2 Needs and expectations of interested parties.
