M5A1 Quiz Once you have completed all assigned readings and discussions, you should be ready to take the open-reference quiz. The quiz consists of two short-essay/answer questions based on Chapters 8 and 9 of your assigned textbook. The questions are as follows:
• Compare and contrast RAND’s Six Steps (2005) and Leppitt’s Integrated Model (2006). Be sure to include an explanation of when an organization would prefer to use one model over the other and the disadvantages of using each model.
• A vision is intended to provide direction to an organization. However, some organizations create vision statements but do not work to ensure that the vision statement is an integral component of the organization’s strategy. Explain how an organization can utilize its vision statement so that it becomes a central component of its strategic plan.
