SABSA Asset Ownership, Custody & Use
l Although in one sense assets are owned by the
enterprise, each asset must have a specific
person assigned as the ‘owner’
l An owner is empowered to make decisions
about the asset:
l How much is it worth?
l How should it be used and by whom?
l What risks does it face and how should these risks be
treated?
l Sometimes (often) an owner delegates the
looking after and management of an asset to a
‘custodian’
l Usually an owner allows (authorises) other
people to use the asset. These people are
called ‘users’

- 22. Creating Stakeholder Commitment
l An initial meeting / workshop is used to kick-start the commitment of
project participants. This will need to be refreshed from time to time.
l Regular informal dialogues and a regular progress meetings on a
periodic basis are used to attain the commitment of key stakeholders.
l Commitment of key stakeholders should be maintained by keeping
them informed of all current matters.
l The governance framework, comprising the Stakeholder Engagement
Process, the Architecture Board and the Project Boards is also a key
mechanism for maintaining and strengthening stakeholder
commitment.

Get your stakeholders to think positive: they will feel better too
Neuroscience: Nominalisation – How the Human Brain Works
We are hard-wired to ‘feel’ before we ‘think’. Emotions precede thought by about 8 milliseconds

- 32. RACI Modelling
l A RACI Matrix is widely used to describe the roles and responsibilities
of various teams or people in delivering a project or operating a
process.
l It is especially useful in clarifying roles and responsibilities in cross-
functional/departmental projects and processes.
l The acronym stands for:
l Responsible
l Accountable
l Consulted
l Informed
© The SABSA Institute 1995 - 2014 31
The RACI Matrix is a tool for assigning responsibility types to roles
- 33. RACI Matrix Explained
l Responsible (R)
l The person or team that perform the tasks to achieve the objectives
l There may be multiple resources that are responsible for delivery of
these outputs
l Accountable (A)
l The person who is ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough
completion of the task. There MUST be EXACTLY ONE A specified for
each task. Accountability implies ‘ownership’.
l Consulted (C)
l Those whose [expert] opinions are sought. Two-way communication
l Informed (I)
l Those who are kept up-to-date on progress. One-way communication
© The SABSA Institute 1995 - 2014 32
- 34. Accountability / Ownership
l Dealing with Overlaps
l If more than one resource is identified as being ‘accountable’, or
‘the owner’ there is a problem of overlap.
l This may be resolved by making an executive decision – which of
the possible candidates is to be held accountable?
l This may also be solved by drilling down to the next level of
detailed analysis, where perhaps ‘accountability’ splits up into a
number of sub-accountabilities for individual owners.
l Dealing with Gaps
l Where no-one is identified as being the owner and held
accountable, someone must be appointed to that role.
© The SABSA Institute 1995 - 2014 33
Accountability requires exactly ONE resource – no gaps, no overlaps
- 35. SABSA Extended RACI Roles
l Communicates (Com)
l Those who are responsible for initiating and managing communications, either
to ‘consult’ or ‘inform’ others
l Monitors (M)
l Those who are responsible for monitoring and reporting on progress, on risk
levels, or on other similar changing parameters
l Reviews (Rev)
l Those who are responsible for looking at the work output of others and
commenting and creatively criticising it for quality assurance purposes
l Verifies (V)
l Those who check that the work product output from others complies with the
specification and acceptance criteria for that work product
l Signs off (S)
l The party who formally approves the V decision
l At the highest level this is also the same party who holds the A role
© The SABSA Institute 1995 - 2014 34
RACI is just a concept – extend it as you find necessary
- 36. RACI Methodology
Step 1: Identify all the stakeholders in the project, process or activity
and define their roles
Step 2: Align each stakeholder / role with one or more of the RACI
responsibility types
Step 3: Ensure that all the RACI responsibility types (and SABSA
extensions) are covered
Step 4: Ensure that there is only ONE single A responsibility for
each project, process or activity
Step 5: Give consideration to where there may be a need for
segregation of responsibility types (e.g. R and V should
usually be segregated)
Step 6: Ensure that everyone knows their responsibility types and is
fully trained and competent to carry out that responsibility
© The SABSA Institute 1995 - 2014 35
- 37. Cross-Mapping RACI to Ownership
l Owner
l The owner is, in RACI terminology, the one held accountable (A,
plus Com and S)
l The owner is also possibly responsible to some extent for the
certain work product outputs (can be R, I, C, M, Rev, and V)
l Custodian
l The custodian is, in RACI terminology, the one responsible for
producing work on behalf of the owner of the project, process or
activity (can be R, C, I, Com, M, Rev, V and S)
l User
l The user is, in RACI terminology, responsible for accepting and
making use of the owner’s and custodian’s work products (can be
R, C, I, M, Rev, V and S)
