Writing Standard Operating Procedures

Let’s face it, SOPs are a necessary part of the regulated and non-regulated fields but we all hate reading and more importantly writing them. They are often very long, redundant, overly detailed, and hard to comprehend. This is a waste of time and money and potentially opens our organizations up to risk. Although regulations dictate what companies must do, they don’t clearly explain how to do it.

This session will offer ideas on audience analysis, document structure, version control, clear language, common SOP terminology, and editing. There will be time to incorporate the techniques into an existing SOP so bring samples of current documents or a work-in-progress.
