Identify an organizational issue that, if addressed, could positively impact organizational effectiveness or outcomes.

Gap Analysis

To practice the process of conducting a gap analysis, complete the Blooming Park: Gap Analysis media activity before you begin this discussion activity.

Then review the examples of gaps provided on the second page of the Gap Analysis Worksheet and Example [DOCX]. Apply this week’s readings and what you learned in the media activity as you complete the Gap Analysis Worksheet. Remember to:

Identify an organizational issue that, if addressed, could positively impact organizational effectiveness or outcomes.

Justify your selection of the elements that are part of the problem, process, or program and your decision to frame the gaps the way you did.

  • Use data to support your description of the gaps.
  • Be careful not to include solutions to the problem or elements of the problem in your worksheet.
