Step 4: Gap Analysis & Capability Plan

🪧 Why This Matters

You’ve mapped where you are (Step 2) and where you need to be (Step 3). Now close the distance. This step turns insight into movement: the gaps that matter, the smartest options to close them, and the first actions that prove progress. Every decision is tied back to one thing: making your core capabilities stronger under change.

This step has three parts:

🔍 1. Gap Analysis

🛠️ 2. Capability Plan

🎓 3. Enablement & Learning

.

🔍 1. Gap Analysis

Choose where to focus, what’s missing, and what matters most.

🛠️ 2. Capability Plan (30/60/90)

Turn choices into movement. This is where plans become real.

🎓 3. Enablement & Learning

This is the part most teams skip. It’s where capability becomes durable.

Prioritise:

“Turn our Gap Map into a ranked list using impact vs effort. Mark anything better shared or bought.”

Sequence:

“Draft a 30/60/90 schedule with owners, lead measures, and result measures.”

Sourcing sanity check:

“For each capability, recommend build/share/buy/partner with a one-line risk and mitigation.”

Continuity check:

“Review our Proof Tests and suggest smallest, fastest risk reductions.”

✅ Step 4 - Definition of Done

🏁 Wrapping It Up

You’ve built a real capability plan. That’s no small thing.

Now it’s time to put it into motion. Step 5 is where you learn what sticks.

But before you head there… go make the first move.

Capability isn’t a one-off plan. It’s a rhythm. Build it, test it, evolve it.
