Gap Analysis

This is a structured framework for comparing where you are versus where you need to be across eight capability areas: business functions, processes, technology, skills, data, people, organization, and metrics. You'd use it during strategic planning, tech modernization, or before kicking off any improvement initiative. The source includes a Python implementation with gap identification logic and four reference guides covering identification, templating, closure planning, and tracking. The best practices are solid reminders about involving stakeholders and prioritizing by value, though the framework itself is fairly standard consulting methodology. Most useful when you need to document the "why" behind transformation work or justify investment decisions to leadership.
