7S Model

This model (7S Model) was developed in the 1980′s by Robert Waterman, Tom Peters and Julien Philips whilst working for McKinsey and originally presented in their article ” Structure is not Organization“. To quote them:

“Intellectually all managers and consultants know that much more goes on in the process of organizing than the charts, boxes, dotted lines, position descriptions, and matrices can possibly depict. But all too often we behave as though we didn’t know it – if we want change we change the structure. Diagnosing and solving organizational problems means looking not merely to structural reorganization for answers but to a framework that includes structure and several related factors.”
