The authority template has been a timesaver. Rather than starting from scratch, we only spent two days refining the financial levels to get them where they need to be.

I used this to finally clean up our internal delegation authority, and it’s a massive head start over a spreadsheet that I spent over 2 weeks to get my head around it. The decision rights allocation and Impact criteria levels are really smart and actually help us explain why a position has authority, which stopped a few internal arguments with our management team and board members.
The authority matrix is incredibly deep as it covers almost everything. I spent around the whole day with my team tweaking the financial thresholds and some wording here and there.

This template is really practical, with clear authority levels and spot-on explanations. For example, in strategy, it lays out exactly who can approve Annual Business Plan KPI changes over 25% of revenues or costs. It’s made decision-making across finance, governance, strategy, HR, and other key functions so much smoother for our team.

We are a medium size business in India, and the price was too high for me. You should have different prices for developing countries.

The template groups various activities into levels of authority, whether they are decision makers, consulted or informed of the activity. Each category has a number of business decision activities. It has helped us a lot to provide clarity to who is responsible to initiate the activity, who will provide input, etc. The template and content are professionally put together.

Overall, it’s helpful and practical in describing who has authority to decide for each task. This will definitely improve the company operational efficiency by providing clarity to employees.
Each authority describes what tasks each team member is working on, what decisions they are responsible for, who to share the information with, and which members are providing support or inputs for each task.
The authority matrix template is a complete policy document you can edit or use their current guidelines, authority categories, descriptions, financial authority levels, interaction color codes, and tools.

Being responsible for a middle size company, I deal a lot with decisions and their effect on the organization and employees. I needed an authority matrix to empower my managers and hold them accountable for their decisions.
I was looking for an authority matrix not just an Excel sheet, but a complete policy document to assist me and my team in defining authority levels and guidelines. Came across their HR store website and was curious to see what the authority matrix was all about.
It has most of the authority activities we needed, such as finance, purchasing limits, HR, etc. broken-down into 4 main categories. The template included guidelines, color coded interaction definitions, activity description, etc.
I customized the areas of the authority matrix to our business needs and started to carry out it with success. Great stuff!
