The approach that we take to organisational transformation is holistic rather than “transactional” and is based on the McKinsey 7-S model which posits that to effect sustainable organisational transformation, changes must be effected to all significant dimensions of an organization as shown below.
You may have reached a consensus on the overall goal for your organisation (shareholder/stakeholder value or citizen satisfaction) and agreed on your strategies and the pathways to achieving your goals; however, the Structures and Systems that must be put in place and the Skillsets that are available to the organisation that are the “enablers for reaching your destination, while the organisation’s staff (the energy source) and its Style, the way things are done and the source of motivation will be the “energisers” that propel the organisation to its goal.
Any organisation can be looked at through the lens of the 7-S model and the interconnectedness of the 7-S elements makes their alignment even more critical for the success of your organisation. That interconnectedness means for example that a change in strategy will invariably require changes in some or all the other 7-S elements.
We will assess your readiness for this transformation journey through the lens of this important diagnostic instrument.
