Identify an organizational issue that, if addressed, could positively impact organizational effectiveness or outcomes. Your organizational issue should reflect a performance gap or potential problem of practice that you will describe as your area of interest in the assignment. Identify the organizational issue by completing a description of the issue just as done in the Examples of Gaps section that follows the blank gap analysis worksheet below.
2. Process or Activity Title: Identify each process, factor, or activity associated with the organizational issue or performance gap identified in the issue statement. List those processes or associated activities related to the issue that are not performing as desired or expected. Each process or activity needs to be analyzed to determine its related performance gaps and its impact on the organization.
3. Expected Performance (A): Regarding each process or activity, describe performance expectations based on established goals, performance standards (for example, state testing), or organizational intent/vision. In the Examples of Gaps section below, the expected performance for the discipline tickets report was anticipated to be at a low level because the system was designed for exceptions. The gap analysis revealed other issues and gaps in expected instructor performance. Note: If the expected performance level or number or percent is known, provide it, or if possible, provide a reasonable estimate and label it as an estimate only. Another approach is to qualitatively describe the expected performance.
