What is a Gap Analysis?

A gap analysis is a process that compares actual performance or results with what was expected or desired. The method provides a way to identify suboptimal or missing strategies, structures, capabilities, processes, practices, technologies or skills, and then recommends steps that will help the company meet its goals.

Why to use diagrams to present Gap Analysis?

Gap analysis is a business assessment methodology. If you need to evaluate current results and the necessary improvement efforts to close the gap and reach the desired performance, use our gap analysis templates to convey your message. Using creative visuals for illustrating the turnaround process makes the information clear in the mind of the audience. You can pick up from the various examples reflecting typical gap types – performance, product (or market), profit or manpower ones. You can reuse our graphs and charts and tailor them to your needs in order to upgrade your presentation slides. Majority of our charts are Data-Driven Excel Charts, so it is very easy to change the presented values. We also include a detailed instruction on how to alter the content, values, colors and look and feel of the charts.
