Policy Development
Documented and approved policies are a Nation’s best way to provide guidance to management and staff on how to carry-out the direction of Chief & Council, no matter what the current level of organizational maturity is.
Effective policies are clear, concise, and thorough enough to be of valuable and practical service to the organization and its members.
LCI’s policy work builds upon the leading industry best practices and adds in features that set the stage for long term community wellness, cultural regeneration, lateral kindness and holistic development. Our policy services integrate into best practices and our processes are designed around ensuring that the Nation has the capacity, support, and expertise to ensure that policies open doors, reduce risk and make life easier.
Whether a single document or a full suite of policies is required, the outcome of our policy development process will be a current and professional product that reflects the needs, aspirations and values of the Nation, while ensuring full integration within the organization.
