How would we help in conducting a GAP Analysis?
We take take the following steps to conduct a gap analysis-
Identifying the state of your department currently
The first step carried out by us would be identifying the objectives that you need to fulfill, and the timeframe in which it needs to be completed. This would provide you with your desired state of the future, the “ideal” state where you wish your business or project to be.
The process of Gap Analysis and Gap Assessment operates the same, to increase the market share of your company, reduce the overheads upon yourself, accelerate the manufacturing process, or incorporate functionality into your product. Even if you are concerned about the satisfaction of the customers and engagement of the staff.
You need to be specific with the objectives and avoid implementing multiple changes to your project. Only if the areas under scrutiny are consistent would the gap analysis work effectively.
Analyzing the situation you are in currently
The next step is analyzing the current situations of each of the objectives on your table. To implement this, gathering data from a variety of sources would be required.
You need to ask yourself the following questions-
- Where would you get the information required? Who should you ask so that you get the complete picture of the situation you are in currently.
- Is the information documented and legal, or is it just in someone’s head?
- What is the most effective way you can get this information? Do you organize brainstorming meetings or not? Is it necessary to conduct customer surveys or not? Whether your team members need to be interviewed one on one, or project activities such as the manufacturing process and the design need to be observed.
Determine the future state of things
The goals you have set up will help you in determining the future state of things. By achieving these goals, you can get to the state that you have set for yourself and your business.
Identifying the gaps between the two steps.
As soon as you have an understanding of the attributes of your current state, you can identify the gap between the two steps. You can figure out the thing that is putting hindrance between you and your goal.
We use the Best Tools for Your GAP Analysis Requirements!
As soon as we identify the gaps, we figure out the reason for their existence and what we can do to avoid them. Let us take a look at a few gap analysis models that we use for this, SWOT Analysis being one of them. The primary focus of the SWOT Analysis is the strength and weaknesses in the internal environment, and the threats and opportunities related to the external environment. First, you need to gather around a team from the relevant departments and create a SWOT Analysis matrix.
The internal strengths and weaknesses of the business need to be listed down, and the threats and opportunities in the market must be noted subsequently. Finally, we analyze how you can use your strengths and opportunities to eliminate the weaknesses and threats. The fishbone diagram, also known as the Ishikawa diagram, is also a useful tool for SWOT Analysis.
The Fishbone Diagram helps in figuring out the main reason for the effect or the issue. Mckinsey 7s helps to understand the gaps that surface in the business, identify the areas that need improvement, and examine the results of future changes in the business. To identify the performance gaps within an industry, Nadler Tusherman’s model is implemented.
