Bridge the gap to success
Gap Analysis is a critical step in understanding the current state (“As-Is”) and designing the desired future state (“To-Be”) of your business capabilities. By identifying the gaps between these, we ensure your transition aligns with best practices, market trends, and your business goals, enabling you to create targeted strategies that improve performance, efficiency, and alignment.
Generating predictions for a new age of forecasting
Key Design Decisions (KDDs) and Key Business Decisions (KBDs) are pivotal in driving transformation. Our approach identifies these decisions early using structured decision frameworks, ensuring the right stakeholders are involved, discussions are focused, and execution risks are minimised. This alignment accelerates progress and keeps implementation on track.
70% of global businesses are interested in using AI to support automated decision management, which includes forecasting-based decisions.

As-Is and To-Be: A strategic view
Using our Capability Maturity Model and Best Practice Continuum, we evaluate your current capabilities and benchmark them against leading industry standards. The To-Be state is collaboratively designed to incorporate innovation, competitor insights, and your strategic imperatives, ensuring a balanced, forward-looking solution.
Aligning teams for seamless implementation
Collaboration is at the heart of our Gap Analysis. Partnering closely with your teams, we guide decisions with SME intelligence and best practices. By addressing key issues such as brand alignment, attribute management, and variations by location early on, we minimise disruptions and pave the way for a seamless implementation.
- Conduct comprehensive As-Is diagnostics

Strategic Gap Analysis: key phases
We perform a comprehensive evaluation of your current capabilities using tools such as Capability Maturity Models and Stakeholder Engagement Surveys. This analysis provides a baseline of your operational strengths, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement, ensuring alignment with your strategic goals.
Leveraging Scenario Modelling and Best Practice Benchmarking, we collaboratively define your desired future state. This phase focuses on aligning your To-Be vision with industry trends, customer needs, and your unique business objectives, ensuring a forward-looking yet practical transformation plan.
Through detailed Gap Analysis, we define the steps required to transition seamlessly. Using Implementation Roadmaps, Change Readiness Assessments, and resource planning, we align capabilities with actionable milestones, preparing you for successful execution.
