Using the vision statement of your chosen company, discuss the following points:

  • Evaluate the article and describe the current vision statement and the change occurring within the organization.
  • Does the vision statement meet the challenges of the overall change initiative?
  • Possible revisions that could be made to the vision statement to meet the image of the organization after changes have been implemented.
