Curious: for those of you have worked at orgs which use the concept of Directly Responsible Individuals (DRI), how well has it worked? What's been good? Bad? Other?
A thoughtful old article from : quora.com/Apple-company/

It was an essential mechanism for abstraction at Apple: many people work on many projects; you need a single point of contact and responsibility. Hard to compose many projects without—contact us too diffuse. KA tried a finer-grained model, but it often just confused things.
It’s more appropriate for bounded, execution-oriented work, rather than open-ended creative work. In the latter context concentrating ownership can be premature; can discourage surprising ideas from individuals during generative phases.
