Writing Effective Policies, Procedures, Specifications & Standards

 

Introduction

All business activities are governed by writing policy and procedures. Much effort is spent on looking at how to draft documents, and, while this is important, it sometimes overshadows the importance of the Policy or Procedure, and related documents such as Specifications and Standards. The course will look at how these documents are created, and some of the main clauses that appear in them, all using real examples wherever possible. The course will then consider methods to be used in drafting Policy and Procedures, and, in particular, how to avoid ambiguity and uncertainty.

  • Examine drafting skills, which will be useful tools in all types of documents
