Step 9 in the steps to certification: from document to action - how to make policy work

This is Step 9 in our series “In 10 Steps to Compliance”. Many organizations spend time drafting policies, processes and work instructions. But they often stop there: documents are neatly stored, while practice hardly ever changes. And that is a shame, because a management system only delivers real value when it is applied and safeguarded.

Why implementation and assurance make the difference

A policy only on paper does not bring results. Implementation and assurance are the two pillars that ensure theory becomes reality:

• Implementation: Make agreements and guidelines visible in practice. Only when processes are consistently applied do reliability and predictability emerge.
• Assurance: Assurance ensures continuity. It prevents relapse to old habits, ad hoc solutions or non-committal ways of working. Thus, quality remains guaranteed.
