shared-values core · hard and soft element panels · interlinked nodes · finding captions · optional alignment key

The McKinsey 7S model: Shared values in a central disc, with the hard elements (strategy, structure, systems) on the upper arc and the soft elements (style, staff, skills) on the lower arc, each arc on its own headed panel, every element linked to every other. Each element carries a short finding in a caption beside it, with an optional aligned, partly aligned or unaligned mark and its key. Group headings and key names are given in the request's language, and element names can be translated.

When to use it

For reviewing an organization against the seven fixed 7S elements with one finding each: post-merger integration, transformation readiness, operating-model diagnostics, change-program assessments, or a team health check. The links show the model's interdependence, not supplied causes. Not for other frameworks, more or fewer elements, numeric scores, or sequences.
