The term 'current position' in the context of Gap Analysis refers to the existing situation of the organization relative to its mission. This concept is fundamental in Gap Analysis, which seeks to identify the difference between where an organization currently stands and where it aims to be in the future, often in terms of strategic goals and objectives. By evaluating the current position against the desired outcomes or mission, management can pinpoint gaps that need to be addressed to achieve strategic objectives.
Understanding the current position involves analyzing various aspects of the organization, including performance metrics, resources, processes, and overall effectiveness in fulfilling the mission. This assessment allows for targeted strategic planning and decision-making aimed at bridging the identified gaps, ensuring that the organization can progress toward its goals effectively.
