GAP Analysis - How it works?

Gap Analysis is a very simple concept. For each attribute, the difference between the expectation and delivery is measured and sorted from highest to lowest. It effectively highlights the attributes you need to focus on.

What do I need to do to run GAP Analysis?

In order to run GAP Analysis, you must use the Side-By-Side Matrix question type. This automatically configures the system to run GAP Analysis across the different dimensions of the matrix. To add a Side-By-Side Matrix question, please see the References section below.

What kind of report will I see?

In this example, you’ll see the items are arranged on a chart comparing the two measured factors, in this case, importance versus satisfaction. This makes it easy to see at a glance what items to focus on that are of the highest importance to a customer but lowest satisfaction.

Customer Service Top Left Quadrant High Importance / Low Satisfaction Product Packaging Bottom Left Quadrant Low Importance / Medium Satisfaction On-Time Arrival Right Middle Quadrant High Importance / High Satisfaction

How is this different than a regular “rating/satisfaction” scale?

Let's take the above example. Even though “Product Packaging” has a lower Satisfaction Score here, it’s obvious from the chart that it’s of lower importance than “Customer Service.” This XY-Scatter Plot captures both the satisfaction and importance dimension in the same chart visually.
