Great input on the ABCs
9 to 5 and otherwise had some very insightful comments about our ABC and Yes, But, So gap analysis approach.
For all the usefulness of being really simple and breaking things down - into A = Situation B = Destination C = Gap - you still need to be careful that this becomes actionable and not just a nice theoretical pitch:
- is your team, are your people the right ones to cross that gap? are there personal gaps?
- have you done your homework sufficiently to understand the gap and what you can do about it?
- and once you have identified this gap, can you break down your actions into doable chunks rather than simply trying to pole-vault over it?
Great thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
PS: We think you have to break the gap analysis into several dimensions. The overall industry at the high level to understand possible mission/vision gaps, the customer/market next to understand offering gaps, the competition to understand relative positioning gaps, and your own competencies/resources to identify the realistic action plan.
