Policies v. Procedures: What is the Difference?

You may be surprised how often I get this question. This is a short intuitive explanation for you to use when you inevitably get this question too.

Hi Leona, from my work in this area, it could be suggested that the Map actually represents the PROCESS - or the high level overview of What must take place, i.e., head north from here toward town X .. then, toward town Y ... then, arrive at town Z - while the PROCEDURE is the detail which explains how to proceed with the directions of the PROCESS, i.e., arrange for the use of the company car - record the starting mileage - utilize the GPS for most direct travel roads - abide by the local trafic laws, etc, etc.
