Procedures are concerned with how it is done. Procedures change as technology changes. There are multiple types of procedures that could be used to accomplish given processes.

Information Strategic Planning Information strategic planning focuses on functions , not on processes or procedures.
Functions are determined during information strategic planning.
Processes are analyzed during business area analysis of a specific business area. Procedures are designed after business area analysis when specific information systems are designed.

In principle, then, the matrix of organizational units and functions can be directly converted into a matrix that maps managers against functions.
