A policy is typically described as a deliberate plan of action to guide decisions and achieve rational outcome(s). However, the term may also be used to denote what is actually done, even though it is unplanned.
The term may apply to government, private sector organizations and groups, and individuals. Presidential executive orders, corporate privacy policies, and parliamentary rules of order are all examples of policy. Policy differs from rules or law. While law can compel or prohibit behaviors (e.g. a law requiring the payment of taxes on income), policy merely guides actions toward those that are most likely to achieve a desired outcome.
Policy or policy study may also refer to the process of making important organizational decisions, including the identification of different alternatives such as programs or spending priorities, and choosing among them on the basis of the impact they will have. Policies can be understood as political, management, financial, and administrative mechanisms arranged to reach explicit goals.

Applying policy tools to achieve long-term change, in my opinion is a great way to achieve that goal. I believe this because it involves the community to be heard and offer their ideas. This is a great idea because who better to know what the problems are than the community it effects? This goal is achieved through four steps: 1)Policy work supports the achievement of our programmatic goals. 2)Effective policy reforms grounded in the experiences and knowledge of our community partners. 3.)Community voices should be prevalent in the policy debates, particularly those without past access to the policy process. Lastly the use of W.K. Kellogg Foundation resources to influence public policy efforts must comply with federal regulations. The community is encouraged to participate and offer suggestions.
