Organizational gap: belief vs operating reality
The organizational gap is the distance between how a company thinks it runs and how it actually runs — visible only when the two are forced together.
Every org chart, process doc, and operating plan describes an intended company. The real one — who actually does what, and how work really flows — drifts away from that description as the company grows.
Where does the organizational gap show up?
In the work nobody owns because everyone assumed someone else did. In the process that's documented one way and run another. In the new hire following the official onboarding while the real one lives in three people's heads.
How do you close it?
By measuring the company as it actually operates — what's really moving, who's really blocked, what really got decided — against how it's supposed to, and surfacing where they diverge. You can't close a gap you can't see.
Frequently asked
Is the organizational gap the same as the reality gap?
They're closely related. The reality gap is the broad distance between belief and truth; the organizational gap is that distance applied specifically to how the company operates.
