"GAP Analysis Overview" |
|
(presentation) |
|
Jack States, The Wing Institute |
States
introduced the GAP analysis tool and work group exercises. The GAP
analysis identifies critical areas for peformance improvement,
including: desired outcomes, current status, controlling contingencies,
and recommendations. The work groups were given assignments to complete
a GAP analysis on selected strategic areas in education.

Small Work Groups: Gap Analysis Exercise 1 |
Each
work group was comprised of representatives from many different
professions, organizations, and perspectives. The groups were
instructed to select one strategic area, identify current practices,
analyze the controlling contingencies, and develop a recommended
corrective action plan.
