Gap Analysis

Getting to where you want to be

Using pragmatic business-focused methodologies, Teamwork provides Gap Analysis services to assist clients, partners and their customers to compare their current systems and processes against recognised best practice as a first step to achieving certification to specific ISO standards. Analysis is based on interviews with key members of your organisation to establish your current position in relation to the required standard(s).

Clear identification of issues

Teamwork’s high level Gap Analysis compares existing core processes, practices and documentation with the requirements of the relevant individual or multiple ISO standards. It identifies where the organisation meets requirements and where there are gaps. We then give recommendations on resources and actions needed to fill these gaps as well as the timescales necessary to achieve certification.

Reviewing your Documentation

A high level review of your existing documentation is carried out to establish whether or not it is appropriate and reflects current practice. Any changes required to support improvements in line with best practice and the requirements of the relevant standards are identified.

Facts and recommendations

Once we have completed the analysis we prepare a detailed report and present the results to your senior management team. The report will clearly identify where you are meeting the requirements. It will also pinpoint gaps, with recommendations on the actions you need to take to fill them and a realistic timescale in which certification can be achieved.

How long, how much effort?

Teamwork will prepare a comprehensive project plan covering the subsequent stages of the implementation programme. This will include details of project actions, ownership and timescales, and will form part of a Continuous Service Improvement Plan (CSIP). This would be maintained up to and beyond assessment and would be continually updated and developed as a business management tool.

An integrated suite of services

As part of our Integrated Management Systems suite, the Gap Analysis element is designed to identify where to focus your attention so that you can make the changes necessary to comply with the required ISO Standards.
