A high-level gap analysis will indicate how far your organisation is from each objective, ie, what you need to do. You may include some quantitative information but it is more likely to be narrative or qualitative at this stage.
This is the beginning of identifying what will have the most impact on achieving your objectives, what you need to do to achieve them, the resources that might be needed and the priorities. You will also need to decide how you will know whether you have achieved your objectives. You will do more work in this area in the 'how to get there' section.
Score each of your objectives 1-10, based on how well the objective is being achieved, where 1 is ‘not achieved’ and 10 is ‘achieved’.
