Abstract
If you’re in the Discover stage, you’ve received approval to move forward. The high-level concept has merit and people, whether it is executives, managers, or other employees, want to know more. Now it’s time for the deep dive into your organization to understand in detail where the organization stands compared to the desired state. This gap analysis should examine the organization from multiple levels or areas, including business strategy, organizational culture, IT infrastructure, and facility/space utilization. The results of this research can then be used to solidify the business case and become the foundation for an execution plan that will be created in the Design phase.
An organization’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage.
—Jack Welch
