This PPT slide, part of the 26-slide Organisation Design 101 - Best Practice PowerPoint presentation, presents a RAID Analysis Grid, a strategic tool designed to identify necessary horizontal processes within an organization. It outlines how various functions—R&D, Manufacturing, Marketing, and Sales—interact with key decisions related to product strategy, characteristics, and distribution channels. The grid utilizes a simple coding system: "I" stands for Input, while "D" indicates Decide.

Each cell in the grid reflects the relationship between the vertical functions and the horizontal processes. For instance, the intersection of R&D and Product Strategy shows an "I," meaning R&D provides input into this area. Conversely, the Manufacturing and Product Strategy intersection is marked with "D," indicating that Manufacturing has decision-making authority here.

This visual representation emphasizes the collaborative nature of these functions, highlighting where input is needed and where decisions are made. The layout suggests that effective communication and coordination among departments are crucial for developing robust horizontal processes.

The slide also hints at the importance of aligning product strategy with operational capabilities, which can lead to better market responsiveness. Understanding these dynamics can help executives pinpoint areas for improvement, ensuring that all functions are effectively contributing to the organization's overall strategy. This analysis can be particularly useful for leaders seeking to streamline operations and enhance cross-departmental collaboration.

Overall, the RAID Analysis Grid serves as a practical framework for organizations aiming to optimize their processes and improve decision-making efficiency across various functions.
