What tweak did Latané make to the V2MOM model?

• A. She replaces Obstacles with Owner
• B. She adds a new 'Risks' component
• C. She expands the 'Vision' section
• D. She removes the 'Methods' step

Answer: (A)

This item centers on how a tweak to the V2MOM framework shifts accountability in execution. In V2MOM, Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, and Metrics guide planning and delivery. Replacing Obstacles with Owner reframes the plan from merely listing blockers to designating who is responsible for clearing each blocker. Having an owner makes accountability explicit, so when progress stalls there’s a named person to report status, secure needed resources, and drive resolution. This emphasis on ownership accelerates problem-solving, clarifies responsibilities, and improves governance because updates focus on what owners are doing to remove obstacles rather than just noting that obstacles exist. The other options would alter the framework or add new elements instead of changing who handles blockers, or would remove a step, which isn’t what happened.
