Question it answers

Where are the gaps between our position and where the market is going, and which should we close?

Inputs

· Scope (business unit / portfolio)
· Market trajectory horizon
· Capability baseline
· Strategic priorities

Steps

1. Establish current position — Baseline today's markets, capabilities and share within the scope.
2. Read the market trajectory — Read where demand, technology and competitors are heading over the horizon.
3. Map the gaps — Compare position against trajectory to surface where the enterprise is exposed — capability, coverage, portfolio.
4. Assess each gap — Judge each gap on how much it matters and whether it is structural or closeable.
5. Prioritize gaps — Rank the gaps by impact and closeability to separate the urgent from the merely notable.
6. Recommend close / watch — Recommend which gaps to close now, how, and which to monitor — with the evidence behind the calls.
