Do you want to know if your business or project is progressing as planned? The GAP Analysis is a widely-used management tool that compares your current performance to your desired or ideal position, identifies areas of improvement, and helps you develop an action plan to bridge the gaps strategically. As a team leader or project manager, you will find useful features in the GAP Analysis PowerPoint Template to present a complete analysis of your business or project, visualize problems or gaps and take action to reach the desired goals on time.
A GAP Analysis can condense a lot of information. For that reason, an overview of your GAP Analysis at the beginning of your presentation will help your audience understand the process easily and follow your ideas. Summarize the actual situation, show your desired position, mention the issues identified and share the actions to solve them.
There’s a gap between your current position and the goal you want to achieve. Identify what stands in your way and showcase a description of these problems in a numbered list that allows you to rank them from the hardest to resolve to the easiest. They could be obstacles in terms of production, lack of resources, technology, skills, etc.
The GAP Analysis PowerPoint Template comes with a GAP Analysis Chart formed by two axes. The horizontal axis is for time periods and the vertical one for your objective metrics. Once you plot the graph, you will recognize a triangular area that represents your current performance, your ideal situation and the gap between those two points.
Opportunities to improve
You can also use the GAP Analysis in reverse and find the reasons why your team or business didn’t meet a goal. What went wrong?
The value of a GAP Analysis
After identifying the obstacles, you’ll be able to focus your attention and direct all your resources to the areas that will have a direct impact in the improvement of the company.

"The key to the success with working with 24Slides has been the designers’ ability to revamp basic information on a slide into a dynamic yet clean and clear visual presentation coupled with the speed in which they do so. We do not work in an environment where time is on our side and the visual presentation is everything. In those regards, 24Slides has been invaluable."
