My name is Jaime Chang.  I am enrolled at Hubbard College of Administration International studying to earn my Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management and Administration.  I just completed the “How To Write Effective Company Policy” course.

I now know how important policy is in an organization.  If you want to expand and prosper your business, it’s very important to have policy and get it followed by your employees.  This has been a great technology for me to learn and I know Iíll be able to apply it!

Efficiency is a major thing in a company; everyone wants to increase it.  It is the thing that every executive, business owner and staff member wants. Why, because efficiency is the way to success. If a person can do things with efficiency, he can do things quicker and better.

In this course, I realized that unnecessary work (or what is referred to as developed traffic or Dev-T) can happen in many different ways.  Also, once you have one of these forms of inefficiency, you will create others.  For example, when information is routed incorrectly, one spends productivity time on it.  Then his production duties become backlogged.  If the backlogs pile up, one can become reasonable on those backlogs, and then more and more Dev-T is produced.

On this course, I learned how to recognize the different types of Dev-T and the way to handle them.

I have just completed the “How to Write Effective Company Policy” course. Like the others courses I have done here at the Hubbard College of Administration, not surprisingly, this is a great and vital course for any executive.

After completing this course, I realized the chief importance of policy in a business.  Policy, once derived, guides actions and assures predictable results.

The understanding I had regarding policy was incomplete.  I thought that policy was a rule that everyone had to follow in an organization, company, government, etc. This is not totally wrong, though is not totally right either.  I discovered that policy is not only about a rule that has to be followed nor only about the result one can get. Policy is a principle which management evolves and issues for specific activities or projects in a company. Policy is a codification of successful actions to be continued and injunctions against the performance of unsuccessful actions thereby enhancing the stability and viability of a company.

After gaining my new perspective on policy, when I look at my business, I can clearly see that many problems are the result of missing policy. These problems could have been handled or avoided, if management had created policies specifically for that action. Policy creation is the responsibility of top executives, who are responsible for the performance of the enterprise as a whole.  Policy handles expansion. Expansion achieves viability and the ability to have a better exchange with a company’s public, culminating in a better bottom line as well.

Lastly, I learned where policy fits in in relation to purpose and product.  Policy, to be truly effective, must align with the purpose and the valuable final product (or service) of the company.  They (purpose, policy, and product/service) all must agree.  Of these three, purpose is senior.

With the data I acquired in the “How to Write Effective Company Policy” course and with my new viewpoint, I can clearly see flaws, successful actions, problems and other situations in my company that this data will help me solve effectively.

I really enjoyed doing the “How to Write Effective Company Policy” course.  I was able to see the importance of having policies when working in any company or organization.  Without policies “consistent across the organization” orders cannot be issued or implemented.  In many companies, there is insufficient breadth of policy set to provide executives and managers with a common basis from which to work.  Personally, I have experienced having no policies from which to work in a particular activity, and it makes it quite difficult to issue orders that won’t, in some way, create a clash with another part of the company.  I am excited to be able to use this data in my work, and I can totally see as a young executive how it is going to help my career.
