Impact Mapping
Purposedifferent
When the value proposition and customer expectation drift apart, it makes fit and mismatch legible. It shows where offering and need don't yet come together.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.When a goal needs to be connected to several possible paths, it shows chains of impact instead of feature lists. It connects business goal, behavior change, and measures.
