This book, Establishing a System of Policies and Procedures, is a must for every person embarking on writing policies and procedures for the first time and/or for experienced writers. This was the first book I ever wrote. I consider it a simple primer for learning the basics of writing policies and procedures. The book is short and can be read in an evening. The policy and life cycle is laid out in short, simple paragraphs; the book contains everything you need to get a basic understanding of policies and procedures. The policy and procedure life cycle is: -- Researching -- Writing a Draft -- Editing a Draft -- Reviewing a Draft -- Approving a Draft -- Publishing the Draft -- Communicating the Published Document -- Training the Published Document -- Maintaining the Published Document -- Improving the Published Document -- Revising the Published Document And now the life cycle starts over. Policies and procedure evolve. This simple, little book is the best first book you can buy. Next is the 7 Steps to Better Written Policies and Procedures.

7 Steps to Better Written Policies and Procedures is an easy to read and use books that teaches you how to add content to each section of the writing format template (for policy or procedure documents) that I provide to you free when asked. This 7 step writing format has recently been updated with a new step. The steps in this book include: Purpose Scope Policy Definitions Responsibilities Procedures Document Approvals Revision History Additional content can be added into Appendices. The originators of the policy and procedure program can add sections or change the names of the section headings. However, it is important to note that the idea of a successful program is consistency; therefore if you say add a section and now have 9 sections, try to keep 9 sections for every document. You do not want to confuse the reader. Consistency will make you successful. I get regular requests from large groups of people in departments for this book because it is so easy to use. I provide opening sentences for each section headings. I provide the "DO's" and "DON'Ts" for each section heading. I provide you with scenarios and exercises to help you learn.
