McKinsey 7S Framework

The McKinsey 7S Framework is a tool used to analyze and align seven key elements of an organization: Strategy, Structure, Systems, Shared Values, Style, Staff, and Skills. Each element interacts with the others, influencing organizational effectiveness. For instance, a company’s strategy (how it plans to succeed) should align with its structure (how it’s organized) and systems (its processes). The framework helps identify strengths and weaknesses, ensuring that all parts work together smoothly. It’s commonly used in management consulting to facilitate change and improve performance.
