FREE "Procedure on Procedures" Example

The "Procedure on Procedures" document is the most important procedure in your policies and procedures program because this practical and straightforward procedure:

1. Contains 18 important decisions that govern the way a policies and procedures program is managed.
2. Gives you an opportunity to work closely with senior management to discuss, and to agree, on important decisions such as (1) who the policies and procedures writer reports to; (2) what are the core sections of your writing format; (3) who approves policies and procedures; or (4) who communicates and trains the published policies and procedures;
3. Becomes your AUTHORIZATION to implement these important decisions at your Company.
4. Helps you raise the bar and set the standard for writing policies and procedures in your Company.

I want to stress the importance of this "Procedure on Procedures" document. This is your "authorization" document, or your governance document, that defines all of the important decisions (you might even call these decisions your requirements) of your policies and procedures program. This document helps you set the standard of writing for your Company because now you have a document that contains all of the guidelines for your policies and procedures program (e.g., numbering conventions, writing style, review guidelines, or auditing methods).

I can't stress enough the importance of this document to the success of your policies and procedures program. And if you can develop this document before getting into the details of writing company manuals, then you'll be much better off.

To help you out, I wrote this "Procedure on Procedures" document in my recommended eight section writing format; the document covers the 18 critical decisions for your review and adoption into your Company's culture, environment, and technology.
