C2O vs RACI

Understanding the key differences and why C2O represents an evolution in collaboration frameworks

RACI: A Foundation, Not a Final Answer

Teams move fast but decide slowly. Traditional RACI matrices fail in today's AI-augmented, innovation-driven enterprise. They create silos, decision paralysis, and the notorious "not my job" mentality. With 95% of AI initiatives failing to deliver ROI and a 3:1 change management cost ratio, organizations need a fundamentally different approach. C2O shifts focus from task assignment to outcome contribution, transforming internal service groups from gatekeepers into partners and distributing AI's cognitive load across entire teams rather than creating expert bottlenecks.
