Align Forte's GAPS Framework is more than just a solutions discovery, process improvement tool or a tech alignment playbook—it’s a game-changer. This four-phase methodology bridges the gap between operational efficiency and cutting-edge solutions ensuring they evolve together to drive innovation, scalability, and measurable results.
Here’s how it works.
1. Gaps Assessment: Discovery Session, Finding What You Are Missing, Knowing Where You Stand
Every transformation starts with clarity. We dive deep into your current processes—mapping workflows, pinpointing bottlenecks, and analyzing performance data. Then, we assess your technology stack to uncover gaps and opportunities. The result? A detailed "State of Synergy Report" that lays the foundation for meaningful change.
2. Analysis In-depth: ROI/COI Strategic misalignments, Risks, Setting the Course
Great improvements don’t happen in a vacuum. In this phase, we align your process goals with your technology capabilities and overarching business vision. We prioritize high-impact opportunities and craft a technology roadmap that supports your ambitions. Our proprietary "Synergy Score"—a unique metric blending efficiency and tech utilization—helps you track progress from day one.
3. Problem Definition: Design and Innovation: Build the Future
Transformation isn’t theoretical—it’s tangible. We define problems to prove the concept. Real-time data and our Synergy Score guide optimization, while training and change management ensure your team embraces the shift. The outcome? A fully operational "Synergy System" delivering results.
4. Solutions Consulting: Prioritizing, Implementing and Optimizing: Making It Real
Here’s where the magic happens. We redesign your solutions and processes using lean and agile principles, then pair them with tailored technology solutions—think automation for repetitive tasks, AI for smarter decisions, or IoT for real-time insights.
