Answer: D

Explanation:

A value driver tree is used to map enterprise-level goals to the functional/departmental level goals. Completing an assessment using a value driver tree would validate whether or not there is a line of sight (also called sight line) in training goals.

Line of sight means that employees can see the connection between their tasks and the organization’s strategic goals. This ensures that employee efforts help to achieve the strategic goals. (Remember strategy is done at the executive-level, it is inter-departmental, it is long-term, and it is cascaded down to departments and units)
