DACI Framework Training Presentation (PowerPoint PPT Deck)

​DESCRIPTION
 

The DACI Framework Training Presentation is a facilitation-ready deck that introduces the DACI decision-making framework — a structured approach to clarify roles and responsibilities in group decision-making.

​

DACI stands for:

• Driver — Leads the decision-making process and ensures progress.

• Approver — Has final authority to approve or reject decisions.

• Contributor — Provides input, expertise, and recommendations.

• Informed — Receives updates and outcomes but does not actively participate.

 

While DACI builds on the well-known RACI Responsibility Assignment Matrix, it provides greater clarity and accountability by designating a single Driver and Approver. This deck explains both frameworks and highlights when DACI is more effective than RACI, making it a valuable resource for teams seeking to improve collaboration and decision-making.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
