Gap Analysis
Organizations set goals and objectives for each department and every employee within it.
Whether the goals are financial or performance based, each entity within an organization
is expected to perform to a level that aligns with the overarching expectations and
standards set by the organization. If a department or employee falls short when these
expectations are clearly identified, it is essential to identify the gap between desired
outcomes and actual outcomes. To identify and address this, organizations can perform a
gap analysis. Although a gap analysis is not the only tool available to an organization or
manager when examining performance issues, it is commonly used to identify gaps in
performance and realign processes or resources to obtain the desired outcomes or
expectations to fill the gap.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the P4 Performance Management performance
gap analysis from this week’s resources in order to familiarize yourself with the
components of a traditional gap analysis.




Using the Walden Library, media, or other sources, identify and select a
contemporary news story or article that describes an organization with a
performance issue. You may use an organization with which you are personally
familiar.
Using this week’s resources, along with your research, perform a gap analysis in
order to identify the performance deficiencies within the organization described in
the article you selected.

Complete this Assignment by developing a 3- to 5-page paper, following the guidelines
below:




Prepare a gap analysis that includes a description of your findings and
recommendations along with the following components/sections. (Note:
According to APA guidelines, you should include a heading for each section in
your paper.)
Define the current state of the organization.
Define the desired state of the organization.
Identify the existing performance deficiencies within the organization.
Evaluate the existing resources and organizational capabilities.
Identify the alternatives that are available to close/eliminate the gap.

organization in working toward its desired state.
Select a solution, provide a brief rationale, and outline a plan of action for
implementation, including a postimplementation metric.
