Conducting a gap analysis will best enable management to identify all additional resources required to implement planned I&T changes. A gap analysis helps to identify the differences between the current state and the desired future state, highlighting the necessary resources and actions needed to bridge the gaps.
A gap analysis involves assessing the current capabilities, processes, and resources and comparing them to the requirements needed to achieve the desired state. This process identifies specific gaps in resources, skills, and processes that need to be addressed to implement planned changes successfully.
