An example of using the missing link framework to evaluate the change in perceptions in a public utility organisation in the Pacific region from 2014 to 2018. In 2014 there was no expectation of change; by 2018 there was a high expectation of change, ie lower scores for all missing elements (like vision, values, strategy, resources, capabilities, motivation and feedback) required for effective change
