What’s the Bridging the Gap concept?

This concept is coming from business analytic’s Gap Analysis, that evaluated current state, desired one and identifies what’s needed to bridge the gap between those states. The gap can be expressed by a data chart, in case you can measure specific states characteristics. Or bridging the gap can be presented in a descriptive way, if it concerns qualitative measures expressed.
