A RACI chart is one of those things that people either love or hate, mostly hate.
Galen LowHOST
Not because it isn't useful, but because it's a bit too easy to get carried away documenting who is responsible, authorized, consulted, or informed for every facet of your business instead of just getting work done.
Galen LowHOST
But as organizations get deeper into their AI transformation journey and start reimagining the very structures that the work exists within, clarity on roles, responsibilities, and decision-making is becoming a wee bit more important.
Galen LowHOST
So today, I've brought in the person that I know to be the expert on the subject of RACI-led decision clarity, and who also happens to be working very closely with enterprises and government agencies on their AI transformation.
Galen LowHOST
Together, we're gonna explore whether RACI can be used not just as a tool to capture how decisions are made today, but also as a language and a mindset to design the organizations of the future.
Galen LowHOST
Hope you enjoy the episode.

We're also all very astute at being able to talk across the marketing and the technology functions, because marketing and tech, there's no way around that now that you've got data and the technology activating against your media and that you're measuring it.
Nathan WilliamsGUEST
But again...
Nathan WilliamsGUEST
For those, we do a similar thing where how quickly can we get a POC, clarify the requirements, and then we have a checklist and then a series of two levels of decision makers, basically, that are informed, consulted, depending on the RACI for that system.
Nathan WilliamsGUEST
So that's been working for us.
Nathan WilliamsGUEST
But the landscape is constantly changing.

This is where a simple tool like RACI can help.

So I'm going to put it real simple here.

In project management, a RACI helps us define ownership, where R is responsible, like who does the actual work.

C, consulted, who needs to participate or give input.
Swati SeelaGUEST
There's a lot of processes that have to be in place.
Swati SeelaGUEST
