How the McKinsey 7-S Model Workshop Works

A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process

1Step 1: Introduction

In this step, the facilitator briefly explains the McKinsey 7-S Model and emphasizes the importance of alignment across all seven areas for strong teams.

2Step 2: Silent Reflection

Participants reflect on each 'S' of the model using sticky notes in three colors to indicate their perceptions of strength, areas needing attention, and misalignment.

3Step 3: The Gallery Walk

The facilitator sets up posters for each 'S' around the room, and participants place their sticky notes under the relevant headings, followed by a walk to read others' insights.

4Step 4: Group Discussion

The group discusses each 'S' in turn, starting with those marked red or yellow, using prompts to delve into strengths, disconnects, and areas for improvement.
