I’ve always despised RACI charts. Who is responsible? We are. RACI is for management and cogs and efficiency – not leadership. It’s a mechanism to get the bare minimum with the bare minimum. It’s a legacy made from the industrial revolution. It works (some of the time), but is it necessary?
When I have people asking me who is responsible for an effort, my answer is always the same: we are.
We may be responsible for managing it or for adding value or for the execution… but 100% without a doubt we are responsible every time. If it involves us, no matter in what way, we’re responsible.
Any answer that is otherwise along the lines of “they are” is a recipe for disaster. It’s the opposite of a network or a team. Stating responsibility is elsewhere is actually the invitation to blame someone else. The work is ultimately lesser because of this attitude.
