The
McKinsey
7S
Model:
Why It
Still
Matters
After
40+
Years
|
|
|
|
90% of
companies fail to
meet
their
goals—but what
sets the
top 10%
apart? Alignment.
|
|
The McKinsey
7S
Model—developed
by Peters
&
Waterman
in the
1970s—remains
a powerful
framework
for
driving
business
success by
ensuring
key
internal
elements
work in
harmony.
|
|
The 7S
Breakdown:
✅ Strategy
– Your
roadmap to
success. ✅ Structure
– How your
organization
is
designed. ✅ Systems
–
Processes
that guide
daily
operations. ✅ Skills
–
Capabilities
your team
needs to
execute. ✅ Staff
– The
talent
driving
your
business. ✅ Style
–
Leadership
&
company
culture. ✅ Shared
Values
– The core
beliefs
shaping
decisions.
|
|
These
elements
are
divided
into hard
(strategy,
structure,
systems,
skills)
and soft
(staff,
style,
shared
values)
categories.
|
|
To thrive
in today’s
fast-changing
world,
organizations
must balance
structure
with
coordination,
strategy
with
culture,
and
execution
with
values.
|
|
Want to
optimize
your
business
using
the 7S
Model?
Start by
evaluating
where your
organization
stands in
each
category.
Focus on
strengthening both
hard and
soft
elements
to drive
real
impact. How
aligned
is
your
business.
