You already know that you need to write down how your business works:
- For easy training of new people,
- In case something happens to you or key people,
- So you can improve it systematically—
But where do you start? How do you organise it? Are you doing it correctly? Forgetting something?
We have the answer—our product, the Q-Template™ is a procedure manual template that:
- Is a framework for your business intranet
- Provides a structure for your procedure manual
- Helps you to comply with international management standards through:
- Embedded instructions for standards compliance throughout the template
- A master list of standards clauses with links to corresponding sections in the procedure manual that you create
Framework for your business intranet
Icons ready to link to your existing software, online services and to your business information, including your procedure manual
Structure for your procedure manual
Most businesses have nine main process areas so we start with these. You can change anything as required.
This screen shot shows the multiple ways to navigate, using icons, text hyperlinks and a master table of contents at the left.
Embedded instructions for complying with management standards
Procedures in each business area contain instructions for complying with the three international standards:
Way We Do version
In Way We Do the instructions are in a separate Way We Do account. When you purchase the Q-Template™ we give you and your author team read access to that site. the layout of that site is the same as the layout of the Q-Template™ framework provided in your Way We Do site. See also Product we use— Way We Do —procedure manual and workflows in the Cloud.
Confluence version
In Confluence the instructions are hidden from view to avoid clutter in the procedure manual, but you can show them with a single click. When you have finished referring to them you can delete them if you want.
We are based in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. We most commonly work in Melbourne and Central Victoria. We can travel to visit you if you are in other places. This will get you started. We can continue supporting you on-line. The ISO standards are international and the Q-Template™ can be translated to other languages if necessary.
