The McKinsey 7-S Framework

The McKinsey 7-S Framework is a tool that helps organizations analyze and align seven key elements to improve performance. These elements are Strategy (plans to achieve goals), Structure (organizational layout), Systems (processes and procedures), Shared Values (core beliefs), Skills (employee capabilities), Style (leadership approach), and Staff (people). By examining how these components interact, organizations can identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas needing change to ensure all parts work cohesively towards common objectives.
