Target State, Gap Assessment & Roadmap

Turn strategic vision into practical outcomes with a clear roadmap. AIM helps you define your future state, assess capability gaps, and build actionable plans that connect current realities with long-term goals. Our tailored approach ensures every initiative is prioritized, aligned, and ready to deliver measurable business value.

Turning Vision Into Reality

At AIM, we specialize in helping organizations navigate the complex journey from their current state to a clearly defined future. Our Target State, Gap Assessment & Roadmap service empowers enterprises to bridge critical capability gaps, prioritize initiatives, and deliver outcomes that align strategy with execution.
Using structured methodologies and a future-focused mindset, we ensure your transformation initiatives are not only well-planned but also practical, consumable, and responsive to change.

Our Approach

Define the Target State

Every successful transformation begins with a clear destination. We collaborate with leadership teams to envision the future-state operating model aligning business goals, technology innovation, and customer expectations. Our process includes:
  • Building a shared, actionable definition of desired capabilities
  • Integrating strategic, operational, and market perspective
  • Tailoring the vision to match organizational goals and industry trends

    Conduct a Gap Assessment

    Understanding the starting point is as critical as defining the endpoint. Our gap assessments evaluate current capabilities across people, process, technology, and governance dimensions. We use a business-context driven approach to:
    • Identify critical enterprise capabilities and vulnerabilities
    • Analyze where current processes and technologies fall short
    • Map capability interdependencies that impact strategic outcomes
    • Surface differentiation opportunities and future competitive advantages

    Build a Practical Roadmap

    We create dynamic, adaptive roadmaps that link the "now" to the "next." Each roadmap is:
    • Actionable: Focused on delivering measurable business outcomes.
    • Prioritized: Sequenced to maximize impact while managing risk and resource availability.
    • Interconnected: Ensuring dependencies between initiatives, technologies, and business goals are clearly mapped and maintained.
    • Targeted and Consumable: Tailored for executive, business, and technical audiences to support decision-making and stakeholder alignment.
    • Adaptive: Designed for regular iteration to accommodate market shifts, technological advances, and organizational learning.
