Using Policies and Procedures as Management Tool
Policies and procedures - oh no! Let's face the facts, policies and procedures are often seen through negative eyes, commonly viewed as an administrative burden, designed to limit creativity and impede the need to "just get things done". And in fact, IT management policies, and related procedures, are often used to limit and control technology utilization, lower operating costs, and to limit risk exposure.
From this perspective, policies and procedures are a necessary, and at times, intrusive, means to an end. However, the story does not have to end there. When used effectively, "policy and procedure" can also be used to market and promote IT services.

IT group is judged by its ability to respond to technology problems
and systems outages. When faced with a systems failure, a
pro-active problem management process can save time, money, and
bring faster, long term solutions.
