Not sure that the particular arrows or flow in this diagram necessarily goes again my initial statement. I review standards established by my peers, the industry, and then from that establish our own internal policy. Based upon standards, here is our policy. I do think that from a communication perspective, it might make sense to reverse the order for clarity and consistency. "Here is the policy... it is derived from the following standard.". Just a thought... Intrinsically, it seems to me the a standard is a high order entity from which policy is derived, thus it was very interesting to review this diagram and reflect.

“Here is the policy… it is derived from the following standard.”.

Just a thought…
