This step-by-step policy issue resolution identifies, analyses and resolves problems or conflicts related to policies or regulations. Policy issues may arise when there are gaps, inconsistencies or ambiguities in policies.
This policy issue resolution allows businesses to:
- Identify the policy – this involves defining the problem, gathering relevant data or information, and analysing the causes and impacts of the policy issue.
- Developing options for resolution – this involves exploring different approaches or solutions to the policy issue, evaluating their feasibility, and assessing their potential impacts and risks.
- Consulting with stakeholders – this involves engaging with stakeholders to understand their perspective, needs and interests and to seek their input and feedback on the proposed options for resolution.
- Monitoring and evaluating – tracking the implementation of the decision, assessing its effectiveness and efficiency, and making adjustments as needed.
The purpose of policy issue resolution is to ensure that policies are clear, effective and responsive to the needs and expectations of stakeholders and that they are implemented in a fair and equitable manner.
By addressing policy issues, businesses can improve their governance, enhance their reputation, and build trust and confidence among their staff and stakeholders.
