Gap analysis is a term used to describe a broad range of techniques to examine and describe the difference between current conditions and desired conditions. The purpose of the gap analysis activity will determine the technique to be used. Generally, the steps to performing a gap analysis include the following:Define the scope of the gap analysis.Review all information about the issue under study.Determine the criteria, standards, regulations, performance measures, or other factors that represent the desired conditions.Possess a thorough understanding of current conditions.Determine the appropriate instrument upon which to record the differences.Perform the analysis.Record and document the results.Analyze the results.Take the appropriate action on the information gained as a result of the analysis.

Self Inspection and Internal Audits

Gap analysis identifies and then compares the gap between an organization’s actual performances against its potential or desired performance. In gap analysis, you typically list the organization’s current situation, its desired future state, and then develop a comprehensive plan to fill the gap between these two states. This analysis can result in a lot of insights into an organization’s current performance and show what has to be done to meet the desired future organizational performance. Step 1. List all attributes you would like to see improved. For ISO 50001, the elements may be appropriate. For ECMS, the musts would be appropriate or the deliverables.Step 2. Identify all the activities you desire to see improved or to possess in the future state. For ISO 50001 EnMS this would be the requirements and for ECMS the deliverables.Step 3. Bridge the gap. Ask does there exist a gap between the current situation or state and desired state. Answer yes or no. If desired, write out the gap.Step 4. Develop countermeasures to close the gap. These countermeasures or actions should be specific, clear, objective, and relevant. Put them into a Gantt chart or an action plan.Step 5. Execute/implement the plan.
