This model provides much food for thought and discussions - and sometimes that's the most important thing. (It's not that we know what's "right" but that we talk about where we are and where we want to go.
I have two observations about using this model. One is to realize that often (if not usually) we don't know where we are in a continium along a particular characterstic. In fact, I suspect there are many attributes of being towards the "closed" end that cause us to also be "closed" to knowing where we are! Perhaps an assessment tool would be helpful.
Also, it seems to me that some of these characteristics are causal and some are independent. A relational diagram might show which to focus on as causal.
