Gap Analysis

Gap analysis is a tool that helps a company to compare its actual performance with its potential performance. At its core are two questions: "Where are we?" and "Where do we want to be?" If a company is not making the best use of its current resources then it may be producing or performing at a level below its potential.

The goal of gap analysis is to identify the gap between the optimized allocation and integration of the inputs and the current level of allocation. This helps provide the company with insight into areas which could be improved. The gap analysis process involves determining, documenting and approving the variance between business requirements and current capabilities. Such analysis can be performed at the strategic or operational level of an organization.
