The document summarizes a presentation about conducting a gap analysis for a government department client. It notes that the client has many ongoing projects that require integration and focuses on quality using PRINCE2 and internal frameworks.

The presentation discusses workshops and interviews conducted as part of the analysis approach. Key findings from applying different thinking styles are discussed around facts, benefits, difficulties, and alternatives. The presentation recommends improvements to processes, people, continuous improvement, and tools. It notes challenges around culture and the need for strong communication and stakeholder buy-in to support changes.
