An organisation chart answers who reports to whom. It does not necessarily answer who owns the result of a particular task. Organisation & Responsibility Map connects reporting lines with a register of recurring responsibilities and decisions, and checks both against the weekly hours people really have. It is built for businesses with 5 to 500 people.

For owners and operations teams: use it for a business where one person wears several hats or a medium-sized organisation with departments, sites and shared roles. Keep people, positions and responsibilities separate so that one employee holding two roles is still counted once.

Build your structure: add departments, reporting roles and employees. Assign weekly hours to roles, then connect each recurring responsibility or decision to an owner. Add an approver only where your actual process needs one.

Check before sharing: the tool detects circular reporting lines, missing references, unowned responsibilities and overlapping capacity demands. It shows direct reports and total descendants without assigning a made-up management-quality score.

Read the difference between two gaps: a role can lack the hours you require even when its currently documented work is light. Conversely, assigned work can exceed the people-hours available. See role coverage and workload separately instead of confusing them in one percentage. Worked example from the fictional demo: Dispatch requires 40 hours, has 24 assigned hours and carries 30 hours of responsibilities — a coverage gap of 16 hours and a workload excess of 6 hours (125% utilisation), not a 22-hour staffing need. The operations manager who also covers Dispatch holds 24 + 24 = 48 hours against 40 available: 8 hours over, and still counted as one person.

For a larger team: import structured employee and role records, filter by department and export the relevant structure and responsibility register. A filter never hides a responsibility without an owner, and managers outside the filter appear only by role title, without personal data. Your workspace is local; simultaneous cloud editing is not included.

No AI guesses: every number is calculated from the records you enter, and every check shows its formula and inputs. Try the two fictional demos — a small wholesaler where one person holds two roles, and a distributor with 120 people, 6 departments and 3 sites — then buy once for the full online tool and the offline file, or open it with an active PRO subscription.
