McKinsey 7S Model
Description
Leverage this dynamic McKinsey 7S model slide to visualize the intricate interdependencies of organizational strategy elements. At its heart, a central hexagon labeled “Shared Values” anchors six surrounding color-coded hexagons—Structure (teal), Systems (purple), Style (orange), Staff (gold), Skills (aqua), and Strategy (blue-green). Dashed connector lines form a geometric network, highlighting how each component influences the others in a balanced, cyclical arrangement. Clean sans-serif typography, generous white space, and subtle drop shadows deliver a polished, modern aesthetic that keeps audience attention focused on your narrative without distraction.
Fully editable in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template empowers you to tailor every aspect with ease. Swap hexagon colors to match your brand palette, adjust connector-line weight, or replace labels and icons in seconds. Vector-based shapes guarantee crisp rendering at any resolution, while master-slide integration ensures consistent styling across your deck. Need to simplify or expand the framework? Duplicate or remove hexagons to scale from three to twelve elements, and watch the connector grid adapt automatically. Optional entrance animations can draw in each hexagon or trace the network lines, enabling dynamic walkthroughs of complex strategy discussions without manual transition setup.
Ideal for executive briefings, strategic workshops, and team alignment sessions, this slide transforms abstract concepts into a clear visual roadmap. Use the 7S model to conduct diagnostic reviews, identify misalignments, or present change-management plans. By mapping structure, systems, culture, capabilities, and leadership style onto an interconnected hub-and-spoke diagram, you foster holistic thinking and drive consensus across stakeholders. Consultants, HR professionals, and project leaders alike will rely on this infographic to streamline strategy rollouts, capability assessments, and organizational design initiatives.
Who is it for
Strategy consultants, leadership teams, and change managers will benefit from this slide when diagnosing organizational effectiveness and aligning teams around shared values. HR directors, business analysts, and corporate trainers can also leverage the model for workshops, culture audits, and capability development sessions.
Other Uses
