Which best describes the difference between a policy and a guideline?

Post by answerhappygod »

Larger, more mature organizations often use policies, but modern organizations often rely more on guidelines
Guidelines are simplified policies that are easier to follow because they do not recommend specific procedures
Policies are used where there are external regulatory requirements, but guidelines are used for internal requirements
Policies are formal statements of management expectation, but guidelines are recommended ways of work
