GAP Analysis
Purposedifferent
PESTLE Analysis makes political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental influences visible. The environment of an initiative is thereby read systematically instead of through isolated trends.When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review.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.
