GAP ANALYSIS OVERVIEW

Gap Analysis is a strategic assessment tool used to compare the current state of a business, process, or system with its desired future state. It helps identify gaps between where an organization is and where it wants to be, providing actionable insights for improvement.

Gap Analysis Questions:
•  Where are we now? (Current state)
•  Where do we want to be? (Future state)
