Value Creation Diagnostic

Six areas. Six stages. One objective: measurable value.

The GAP Diagnostic™ identifies the cause of the Capability GAP: where organisational demands exceed the capability in place, where value is being lost, where risk is concentrated and which changes will have the greatest impact.

Take the initial GAP 6×6 assessment

Rate each value area from 1 (significant gap) to 5 (strong and evidenced). Your responses provide an initial discussion framework; they are not a substitute for the full evidence-based diagnostic.


Initial diagnostics are normally scoped from £10,000. The final scope and fee depend on complexity, evidence, stakeholders and required outputs.
