Culture and organization
Culture is the first reason transformations fail. Axibra keeps the organizational side of a decision in view instead of leaving it to chance.
See how it worksThe RASCI Matrix is a tool used to clearly define roles and responsibilities within a team or organization. It is used to identify who is responsible for specific tasks or decisions, who is accountable for the overall success or failure of a project or initiative, and who needs to be consulted or informed throughout the process.
The package
The case
Projects can be difficult to track, especially when they are complicated affairs embedded within complex organizations. The RASCI Matrix aims to clarify a project's workflow by defining who owns what and to what level certain people should be involved with the project. Ultimately, while we're holding people accountable for their responsibilities, the clear articulation of expectations should, in theory, help employees succeed, not feel threatened that they're expected to fail.
The mechanics
The RASCI Matrix is typically presented in a table format, with tasks or responsibilities listed in the left column and team members listed across the top row. Each cell in the table is then used to describe the level of involvement or responsibility of a particular team member for a specific task or responsibility. By communicating clearly through a visual representation of responsibilities and expectations, the RASCI Matrix helps keep teams and projects on task. In the RASCI matrix, there are five different levels of involvement or responsibility: - Responsible: responsible for completing the task or making the decision. - Accountable: accountable for the success or failure of the task or decision. - Supportive: provide support to the person responsible for completing the task or making the decision. - Consulted: need to be consulted during the task or decision-making process. - Informed: need to be informed about the task or decision, but do not have a direct role in its completion or implementation.
The purpose
What is the goal of the model?
The goal of the RASCI Matrix is to help projects succeed by clearly articulating the level of involvement different individuals have with the process.
Beyond the download
The PDF is yours to keep. But a model changes something only when it touches the work — and that is what Axibra does with it. The model becomes the structure your decisions are made in, and every outcome stays traceable back to the input it came from.
In practice
For years we applied this model by hand, in client engagements. It now runs inside Axibra.

By subject
From here on
Axibra is where these models run. It carries a decision through to the work that follows it, and keeps every result traceable back to the input it came from. If you would rather start with a conversation, we are one call away.
Strategy does not fail in the thinking. It fails in the handover.
