Refer to the Gap Analysis Definition and Figure 6.5 in your textbook for assistance.

Composition: Craft a well-structured, two- to three-page paper following APA Style guidelines, complete with a cover sheet and reference list. Attach the completed table alongside your written analysis. Commence with an introductory overview of the improvement initiative and conclude with a reflective summary evaluating the proposed plan`s effectiveness.

Substantiate your arguments with evidence from at least two scholarly sources, including relevant textbook materials.
