Description
Creating effective policies doesn't have to be complicated; but, should be concise, comprehensive and clear. Policy development is considered a necessary evil in some organizations. It can be a scary process.
Every organization to some degree struggles with the creation of and/or implementation of policies. Policy Development doesn’t have to be complex, but, it should be comprehensive, otherwise, it’s ineffective. Good policies provide better compliance. If you want a good result, start with a good direction!
You can struggle through the steps yourself, or, you can tap into a system that has been used with multiple boards to ensure your policies are comprehensive and have added strength and protection to your organization.
Your ability to organize and optimize the strength of your organization depends on your ability to make the organization strong enough to continue to provide the services it offers without expensive legal fees. Make your organization flexible; able to adapt to the changes in legislation, the market demand, etc. without having to re-write your bylaws; which can be an expensive process. Creating stronger non profits, charities and service organizations is what this book is all about.
Well written policies can protect an organization from litigation, only if they have good compliance. Writing policies that encourage compliance requires they be clearly written, specific in nature and imperative.
Write policies with your Vision and Mission and/or letters patent in hand. These will be required to ensure your direction, while writing policies that are in compliance. Legislation will provide direction for some of your policies and they will likely be the first and the easiest you will write. This book is short, but, specific to the topic, the Governance series allows you to only purchase the topics that are of particular interest or need to you and your organization.
