The template supports a government agency in identifying key stakeholders from both customer and supplier sides, building clarity, and improving collaboration. After a kick-off meeting introduces a preliminary RACI chart, the supplier can form an SRM working group to commit resources and refine a final draft. The guide outlines how to align each activity to a role and review the RACI regularly.","What is a RACI?\nStrategic supplier relationship management (SRM) is a cross-functional and cross-business activity which needs a high level of stakeholder engagement and support from both the customer (your government agency) and the supplier/provider.\nHaving clearly defined roles and responsibilities across all supplier activities and interactions is fundamental to effective SRM. Typically, this involves listing all activities and interactions with a given supplier and allocating activities to various members of the supplier relationship management team. The roles cover who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed (RACI). The output should be a single RACI table for each supplier relationship.\nThis template helps your agency identify stakeholders and assign appropriate roles and responsibilities (from both the customer and supplier side). Doing this helps to build capability and provide clarity for everyone involved. Once a supplier has been engaged via a kick-off meeting and the preliminary RACI chart has been introduced to them, it is advised that they establish an SRM working group on their side to make sure they can commit to the resources and activities discussed, before agreeing on a final RACI draft.\nHow to use this template\nYour internal SRM working group should complete a preliminary RACI table whilst being aware that supplier-side roles and responsibilities are subject to discussion/amendments as part of the kick-off meeting. The preliminary RACI chart is a valuable tool in obtaining the buy-in of a supplier as it shows that you’re committed to collaboration and open to suggestions.\nAlign each supplier activity or interaction to the appropriate role and define if that role is responsible, accountable, needs to be consulted or just needs to be informed.\nCreate the high-level RACI and then review it regularly to make sure it’s still relevant and considers any personnel or organisational changes.\nRACI definitions\nResponsible \tThe person responsible for completing the task or activity (ideally should be one person only).\nAccountable\tThe person that makes the final decision and ultimately has the ownership (should always be one person only).\nConsulted \tThe person or people that should be consulted before a decision, or before a task or activity takes place. These people will normally provide information that supports conducting the activity or task.\nInformed \tThe person or people that should be informed once the decision has been made or once the activity or task is finished. They can also be kept updated on progress.\n\u000f\nRACI template","cbCaioiy0gAtdXv7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioiy0gAtdXv7","docx",107495,4,"English","en",105,"# What is a RACI?\n## How to use this template\n## RACI definitions","[{\"question\":\"What does RACI stand for in supplier relationship management?\",\"answer\":\"RACI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed.
