Abstract: Method to perform an operation to prioritize capability gaps, the operation comprising determining, for each of a plurality of business objectives, a weighted effectiveness, criticality, and differentiation (ECD) score, and determining operation of one or more processors, a priority value for each of a plurality of capability gaps based on: (i) the weighted ECD score of each business objective, and (ii) a degree of support the respective capability gap provides towards fulfilling each business objective, wherein each priority value reflects a degree of importance of a capability subject to the respective capability gap.

Abstract: Under the present invention, components pertaining to a particular business operation of an organization are identified arranged into a component map. Information corresponding to a set of financial and staffing variables for the components is then gathered. During a workshop or the like, votes regarding a differentiation factor and an effectiveness factor of each of the components are received according to a predetermined scale. When vote quality is deemed acceptable (e.g., according to a standard deviation), a series of individual heat maps will be generated from the component map using the votes and the information previously collected. In general, an individual heat map is generated for each of the differentiation factor, the effectiveness factor, and the set of financial and staffing. Thereafter, an integrated heat map can be generated by combining at least two of the individual heat maps.
