Purposedifferent | GAP Analysis compares the current state with a target picture and makes the distance manageable. It becomes useful when, ahead of new initiatives, it must become clear which capabilities, processes, or resources are missing. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | For a complex deviation with several people involved, the method bundles problem, analysis, and decision onto one page. It creates a shared working space where causes, countermeasures, and follow-up fit together. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
