Gap Analysis
What is a Gap Analysis?
Gap Analysis is a strategic tool that helps businesses identify the differences or “gaps” between their current performance and desired goals. This approach involves assessing existing capabilities, defining specific objectives, and creating an action plan to bridge any gaps. By pinpointing areas for improvement—whether in performance, skills, or resources—organizations across industries can prioritize actions and allocate efforts more effectively.
