Creating Policies and Procedures That Work

If you are a scientist, researcher, QA/QC, or product development expert, sooner or later you have to address critical quality and regulatory issues. And there is no more important component of sound quality and regulatory practices than well-thought-out and well-written policies and procedures.

Sub-optimal policies and procedures can have a significant deleterious effect on an organization -- not just in regulatory compliance but also in overall productivity. And even the most knowledgeable subject matter experts can struggle when creating policies and procedures.

Of course, this is not surprising – after all, framing policies and establishing procedures present significant challenges. What processes should have policies? Why? What procedures should be documented? And how extensively should they be documented? And what are the best approaches to drafting policies and procedures that will make them clear, easy to understand, easy to follow, and – perhaps most important of all – acceptable to regulatory authorities? In this audio conference, attendees learn important strategies to meet these challenges.

Creating Policies and Procedures That Work is being presented by Karl Keller, Principal, with Communication Partners and airs on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2009. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
