DESCRIPTION

This product (McKinsey 7S Framework Poster) is a 5-page PDF document with a supplemental PowerPoint document, which you can download immediately upon purchase.

The McKinsey 7S Framework, developed by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman of McKinsey & Company, is a widely used business model that helps evaluate organizational alignment and effectiveness. The framework identifies seven interrelated elements – Shared Vision, Strategy, Structure, Systems, Style, Staff, and Skills – that need to be aligned and mutually reinforcing for success.

Using the holistic 7S framework can provide deep insights into an organization, leading to increased efficiency and profitability. It can also be applied to teams or projects.

The poster is available in two distinct themes: a vibrant color scheme and a professional monochrome version. In both formats, the poster comes in a convenient PDF as well as an editable PPTX format, enabling effortless printing on A3/A4-sized paper from standard office copier machines. This versatile resource can be prominently displayed on employee workstations or distributed alongside your training materials.

Furthermore, the McKinsey 7S Framework poster is an ideal supplement to strategic planning-related training presentations. It serves as a valuable takeaway, summarizing the core principles of strategic planning or organization design and reinforcing the key takeaways from your training.

The seven elements of the framework include:

1. Strategy: The plan devised to maintain and build competitive advantage over the competition.
2. Structure: The way the organization is structured and who reports to whom.
3. Systems: The daily activities and procedures that staff members engage in to get the job done.
4. Shared Values: The core values of the company that are evidenced in the corporate culture and the general work ethic.
5. Style: The style of leadership adopted and the organization's overall operating approach.
6. Skills: The actual skills and competencies of the employees working for the company.
7. Staff: The employees and their general capabilities.

This poster includes key questions for each element, facilitating a thorough analysis of your organization's alignment. Designed by Operational Excellence Consulting, it reflects their commitment to empowering sustainable change.
