History It was first mentioned in "The Art Of Japanese
Management" by Richard Pascale & Anthony
Athos in 1981.
At around the same time, Tom Peters & RobertWaterman were exploring what made a
company excellent. The 7S model was born at a
meeting of these four authors in 1978. It was
taken up as a basic tool by the globalmanagement consultancy company McKinsey.

What is the 7-S Framework
It is a management model that describes 7factors to organize a company in an holistic and
effective way . Together these factors determine
the way in which a corporation operates .
Managers should take into account all seven of
these factors, to be sure of successful
implementation of a strategy.
They are all inter-dependent. The relative
importance of each factor may vary over time.

How to use the Model
To understand how the organizational elements
are interrelated , & to ensure that the wider
impact of changes made in one area is taken
into consideration. To help identify what needs to be realigned to
improve performance, or to maintain alignment
(and performance) during other types of change.
To identify gaps & inconsistencies between the
current position & the future position of the
company.

Drawbacks The external environment is not mentioned
in the McKinsey 7S Framework, although
the other variables do exist & that only the
most crucial variables are depicted in the
model.
The notion of performance or
effectiveness is not made explicit in the
model.

Key Points The McKinsey 7Ss model is one that can
be applied to almost any organizational or
team effectiveness issue.
Inconsistency between some of the
elements can be identified by this classic
model.

The McKinsey 7S model can be applied to
elements of a team or a project as well.The alignment issues apply, regardless of
how you decide to define the scope of the
areas you study.
