Mckinsey 7 S’s Model Concept

7 S’s Model developed by McKinsey consultants starts from the assumption that a manager’s effectiveness is determined by the strategy and by the organization structure. In fact, the management practiced, organizations’ structure and the strategy followed are related among themselves through a complex network of seven characteristic factors of the organization. Was based on this idea that McKinsey developed his model in a wheel shape in which all the seven factors are connected among themselves allowing describing the relations between strengths and where these determine the company’s success or failure.

Organizations’ characteristic factors that form the model:

1. Shared Values

2. Strategy

3. Structure

4. Systems

5. Style

6. Skills

7. Personnel
