  • Who's Got the Wheel?

    12:00 PM | 30 Min | .5 PDU

    Projects run smoother when everyone knows their role—but too often, responsibilities are assumed instead of assigned. The result? Confusion, duplicate work, missed deadlines, and a lot of finger-pointing.

    We’ll walk through practical ways to clarify who’s doing what—and who needs to stay in the loop. You’ll get a straightforward introduction to the RACI matrix, a tool that helps break down roles into four key categories: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed.

    Whether you’re leading a team or collaborating on a project, this session will help you communicate expectations, reduce misunderstandings, and keep things moving in the right direction.
