In the Rational Model, which activity follows Strategic Implementation (Change)?

• A. Review & Control
• B. Mission & Objectives
• C. Strategic option generation
• D. Position Audit

Answer: (A)

After a strategic change is implemented, the next activity is to review and control. This phase closes the loop by measuring actual results against the plan, spotting variances, and taking corrective actions to keep the strategy on track or to learn for future cycles. In the rational model, the process flows from defining objectives and generating options to selecting and implementing a change, then to monitoring performance and adjusting as needed. Positions like a Position Audit or Mission & Objectives sit earlier in the process, while Strategic option generation happens before implementation.
