Aligning Vision with Strategy and Organizational Structure


This PPT slide, part of the 43-slide Common Consulting Frameworks (How and When to Use) PowerPoint presentation, presents the 7S framework, which illustrates how an organization's vision influences its strategy and the interconnected elements that shape its operations. The central focus is on the vision, described as the overarching goal that guides the organization. This vision informs the strategy, which is depicted as an integrated set of actions aimed at delivering superior value to a specific customer segment while maintaining a sustainable cost structure.

The framework emphasizes that the strategy must align with the skills and shared values of the organization. Skills refer to the capabilities that the organization must excel in to effectively deliver its value proposition. Shared values are the core beliefs that underpin the culture and decision-making processes within the organization.

The other components—structure, staff, systems, and style—are depicted as critical elements that support the strategy. Structure relates to how the organization is arranged to facilitate operations. Staff refers to the human resources and their roles in executing the strategy. Systems encompass the processes and technologies that enable the organization to function efficiently. Style reflects the leadership approach and organizational culture that influence how work is conducted.

This framework serves as a diagnostic tool for organizations seeking to align their internal elements with their strategic objectives. It highlights the importance of coherence among various components to achieve long-term success. Understanding this framework can help potential customers assess how their organization can better align its vision with operational execution.
