Cross-Functional AI RACI Studio with Apoorva Sharma

AppyGuru’s Cross-Functional AI RACI Studio helps teams operationalize roles · decisions · escalate · residual · brief with a dense guide, three Word templates, workbook, and briefing deck. Includes educational disclaimers and SAMPLE teaching data. Educational templates—not HR certification, org-design certification, legal advice, or compliance certification.

This AppyGuru digital pack is priced at $14 USD and is designed as a working kit you can adapt in days, not a binder that sits unused. Every artifact ships with an educational notice: these materials are learning aids and starting templates. They are not legal advice, certified compliance, security authorization, medical or regulatory clearance, fairness certification, records-retention certification, ethics certification, board counsel, supply-chain certification, lab certification, or a guarantee that your organization will meet any requirement. Adapt with qualified counsel, security architects, privacy partners, fairness owners, ethics chairs, and your own risk owners before production use.

## What is inside (file by file)

**01_Cross_Functional_AI_RACI_Studio_Guide.pdf (PDF)** — Guide with modules, quizzes, worked example, and 90-day plan.

The PDF is written in AppyGuru’s plain-language teaching voice: short modules, concrete examples, exercises, quizzes with answer keys, checklists, and a ninety-day action plan. Use it to align a cross-functional working group before anyone opens the editable templates. Facilitator prompts help you keep meetings focused on decisions, owners, and evidence rather than slogan slides.

**02_AI_RACI_Studio_Primary_Checklist.docx (DOCX)** — Primary checklist with SAMPLE fields, version history, and RACI.

The Word workpaper includes visible SAMPLE content so teams know what to replace, plus document control/version history and a RACI table. Instruction callouts mark places that need counsel or owner judgment. Keep SAMPLE markers until a named reviewer signs off; blank fields are useful signals, not failures.

**03_AI_RACI_Decision_Escalation_Runbook.docx (DOCX)** — Secondary runbook for High cases.

The Word workpaper includes visible SAMPLE content so teams know what to replace, plus document control/version history and a RACI table. Instruction callouts mark places that need counsel or owner judgment. Keep SAMPLE markers until a named reviewer signs off; blank fields are useful signals, not failures.

**04_AI_RACI_Studio_Operating_Notes.docx (DOCX)** — Operating notes and anti-patterns for owners.

The Word workpaper includes visible SAMPLE content so teams know what to replace, plus document control/version history and a RACI table. Instruction callouts mark places that need counsel or owner judgment. Keep SAMPLE markers until a named reviewer signs off; blank fields are useful signals, not failures.

**05_AI_RACI_Studio_Workbook.xlsx (XLSX)** — Register, events, actions, dashboard.

The workbook is multi-sheet with an Instructions tab, sample rows, dropdowns where helpful, and operational columns for owners, dates, and status. Treat fictional SAMPLE organizations as teaching data only. Start with the systems or cases that matter most; connect rows to evidence pointers in your own repository. Never store real personal data, customer content, key material, live secrets, or confidential case identities in marketplace SAMPLE files.

**06_AI_RACI_Studio_Leadership_Brief.pptx (PPTX)** — Leadership/security briefing deck with speaker notes.

The deck is built for a short working session or leadership conversation. Speaker notes help a facilitator run the room without an architecture lecture. Replace every SAMPLE line before a real meeting and capture decisions in writing before you adjourn.

## How teams typically use the pack

Recommended order: read the PDF together; assign one owner for each Word workpaper, one for workbook truthfulness, and one for the briefing record; replace placeholders that could be mistaken for facts; preserve source links and dates in your evidence space; keep the educational notice attached when distributing adapted copies. When a topic sits outside the team’s authority, record an open question with a named escalation path rather than inventing confidence.

Extended Wave 24 notes for RAC_IDs: owned inventory, High-case packets, Aged residuals, and briefs. Educational templates—not HR certification, org-design certification, legal advice, or compliance certification. Original AppyGuru material only—do not confuse with other catalogs.

Buyer workflow note: this pack is intentionally modular and denser than thin three-file kits. A facilitator can use the PDF for shared vocabulary, then assign owners across multiple Word workpapers, the workbook, and the briefing. Replace every placeholder that could be mistaken for a fact, including names, dates, system IDs, status values, contacts, risk ratings, and sample outcomes. Revisit after incidents, audits, product launches, vendor changes, or new programs. © AppyGuru — practical AI and governance education.

Additional facilitation tips: keep examples fictional until partners agree what may be used in a live workshop; store system or case IDs consistently across PDF exercises, Word forms, Excel rows, and deck slides; calendar the next review before you celebrate the first draft; and treat a blank evidence pointer as unfinished work rather than an implied pass. If leadership asks for a single score, respond with bands, residual themes, and the decision required today. If staff ask whether a publish, award, or test is allowed, answer with the traffic light, the approved path, and the escalation contact—not with improvisation. Continuous improvement beats one-time documentation: update the pack artifacts when your reality changes, and keep prior versions in your document repository for traceability. AppyGuru builds original educational kits so teams can practice accountable AI operations with clarity and proportion. Wave 24 packs emphasize AI feature-flag kill-switch kits, cross-functional AI RACI studios, AI data-residuals risk packs, secure RAG evaluation labs, and AI partner co-branding desks—each with educational disclaimers and SAMPLE teaching data only. Rehearse with a cross-functional group, capture owners and dates, and escalate legal, privacy, security, fairness, ethics, or platform questions to qualified specialists rather than inventing certainty from a template.
