Description:

Policy statements generally refer to establishing, maintaining, and following a written organizational policy for the practices of a particular process. This emphasizes the connection between organizational commitment and the practices performed in workgroups and units. Policies typically do not provide implementation details, but merely commit the organization to comply with a set of guiding practices and behaviors in the area covered by the policy.

An organizational role(s) is assigned responsibility for coordinating activities at the organizational level. This coordination role may involve defining common procedures, assisting units in defining their own procedures, reviewing unit-level activities for compliance with laws, regulations, policies, and the like, collecting and sharing experience across the organization, or providing advice when asked. In some cases, these responsibilities for organizational coordination may be divided across multiple groups, such as competency ownership teams with responsibilities for organization-wide coordination within each workforce competency community.
