Re: What do you call policy/process/procedure structure?

[Shari Punyon <sharipunyon -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Yeah, I've often put that together for the actual documentation, but I
think of the "Process/Procedure" world as separate I guess, because it is
generally part of an overarching "the way we run our company" type of
thing. I've never been anywhere before where at least a *basic* structure
hasn't been in place, and you just fill in which actual documents you need.
I think of that type of thing being something where people pay way too much
money to have some outside firm tell them what to do.
