The more complex and verbose your policies, the more difficult it is to maintain them
Let's face it, Policies are boring! Most Managers start with enthusiasm, which fades over time
- Enthusiasm stage - Motivated to create the "best policies"
- Complacency stage - Can't find the time to go through it all again
- Redundancy stage - So out of date, you'll have to start all over again
Avoid this by having minimal and minimalist policies that are easy to review and update
