The Change Model (McKinsey 7-S Framework)

The McKinsey 7-S Framework is a management model that helps organizations implement change effectively. It identifies seven interconnected elements: Strategy (the plan), Structure (how the organization is arranged), Systems (processes and procedures), Shared Values (core beliefs), Skills (capabilities of employees), Style (leadership approach), and Staff (people). When organizations want to change, they must ensure all these elements align and support each other. By addressing each aspect, leaders can create a cohesive and successful change effort, enhancing performance and achieving goals.
