An organization comprises different aspects, the functioning of which defines the organizational strengths or weaknesses. McKinsey 7s models can be defined as an internal assessment tool for business organizations. The 7S models determine organizational effectiveness by examining the alignment of the seven essential elements - systems, strategy, structure, share values, staff, style, and skills. The 7s Model can be created using online or offline tools like EdrawMax and is based on the theory that, for an organization to perform well, these seven elements need to be aligned and mutually reinforcing. The 7s model diagram can be used to help identify what needs to be realigned to improve performance or to maintain alignment during other types of change.
