McKinsey’s 7S Framework
I am now currently enrolled in a Diploma Course in Organization Development at DLS-CSB (Space).
So far, I am enjoying being back to school again. The facilitator has provided us something very important, in my judgment, that could make diagnosing organizations easy. It is the 7S Framework of McKinsey.
- Strategy: the plan devised to maintain and build competitive advantage over the competition.
- Structure: the way the organization is structured and who reports to whom.
- Systems: the daily activities and procedures that staff members engage in to get the job done.
- Shared Values: called “superordinate goals” when the model was first developed, these are the core values of the company that are evidenced in the corporate culture and the general work ethic.
- Style: the style of leadership adopted.
- Staff: the employees and their general capabilities.
- Skills: the actual skills and competencies of the employees working for the company.
