McKinsey 7S checks whether Strategy, Structure, Systems, Shared Values, Skills, Style, and Staff fit together. Organizational misalignments become visible across multiple levers as a result.For a deviation after a change, the method isolates the influence of the altered condition.

The method makes visible which core problems drive several negative effects at once.
