RACI Charting & Analysis (PowerPoint PPT)

Specific roles and responsibilities in an organization can sometimes become ambiguous. People lose accountability, proper people aren't informed or consulted, and responsible parties don't complete the tasks at hand. We can mitigate these issues using the Responsibility Assignment Matrix or RACI Chart.

The RACI charting technique is used to identify the functional areas and roles and responsibilities in an organization to accomplish a desired task. The RACI matrix ensures that accountability lies with the person who can be really held accountable for a specific task.

The RACI acronym stands for:

•  Responsible: The Doer.
•  Accountable: The one who is ultimately answerable for the activity.
•  Consulted: The person, often the subject matter expert, who needs to be consulted before any action.
•  Informed: The individual(s) who should be kept in the loop after a decision has been made.

This slide deck provides a detailed overview of the RACI charting technique. Specifically, topics discussed include RACI Usages, Design Principles, Vertical Analysis, Horizontal Analysis, Change Management Issues, among other topics.

The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
