Your customized GAP Metrics are built to evaluate the Formula for SPEED in your organization.
Structure

Due Diligence
These GAP Metrics demonstrate two things: 1) The current status of each GAP Metric S,P,E,E, and D; 2) The current
status of the drill down metrics, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the trend over time of your GAP Metrics. This report
works from the global to the specific and back to give you prioritization of what to work on to generate higher GAP
Metric status for your organization.
We believe that the GAP Metrics are Leading Indicators for overall organizational performance, including financial
performance, and if you proactively work on these root cause leading indicators, you can improve or forecast financial
performance and other backward looking accounting measures.

5. How to Use This Information:
1) METRIC FOCUS: Trends over time are typically MORE important than anyone time period. We have
found that metric scores typically can be interpreted as follows:
5.5 - 8.0 = Strength
5.0 - 5.5 = Good, however worth looking at for improvement if nothing lower or in combination with lower metrics
4.5 - 5.0 = Average, should get some attention at some point depending on priorities
4.0 - 4.5 = Below average, look hard at these
2.0 - 4.0 = Weakness, Seriously consider working hard on these
2) ACTION PLAN FOCUS: Share back the results with all participants and analyze the lower metrics,
especially any 5.0 or lower metrics. Get feedback from the teams and select a metric that you feel you
TM
can make efficient progress on and set a time frame goal. Track it monthly with GAPM and any other
means practical. Some may be low hanging fruit, and simply a focus on them will cause you to improve.
Each action plan should have a champion/owner, a list of actions to be taken (action items), and a
due–date for each action item. Action plans can include one or more of the following: Training,
Communication, Change in a System or Process, Improvement in Resource Allocations, Clarification of
Current Policies or Processes, etc.

6. 3) LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT FOCUS: Put a review of the action plans generated by GAPMTM
on your monthly management meeting agenda and have each champion report each month on the
progress of the action plans to improve the culture, metrics, and the overall organization. Continue
to review the reporting similar to the way you review financial reporting, selecting important areas,
getting feedback from the people in the company on what can or should be done, and then holding
yourselves and all the teams accountable.
