7S Framework Assessment Tool
The McKinsey 7S framework was developed in the early 1980s by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, two consultants working at the McKinsey & Company consulting firm. The basic premise of the model is that there are seven internal aspects of an organisation that need to be aligned if it is to be successful:
- Strategy: the plan devised to achieve your goals
- Structure: the way the organisation is structured and who reports to whom
- Systems: the daily activities and procedures that your people engage in to get the job done
- Shared Values: the core values of the company shown 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
See the =mc Thought Bite — Knowing your organisation for more on the 7S framework.
