What is an accountability chart?

An accountability chart is a tool used to create the optimal structure for an organization based on its vision and goals. Gino Wickman explains that once you have a clear vision outlined through a tool such as the Vision Traction organizer, the accountability chart helps you determine the best organizational structure to achieve those goals. It assists in understanding what positions need to be filled and by whom to ensure all the right people are in the right seats. This tool is pivotal for organizational planning, particularly when scaling from smaller operations to larger enterprises, such as going from ten to fifty million dollars in revenue. 1
