McKinsey 7S Framework Circular Diagram Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

Visualize the McKinsey 7S framework with this elegant circular diagram slide, featuring seven interconnected circles arranged around a central “Shared Values” node. Each surrounding circle—Strategy, Structure, Systems, Staff, Style, and Skills—is linked with dashed connector lines, illustrating the mutual relationships driving organizational alignment. Subtle grey outlines and minimalist typography on a white background create a clean, professional aesthetic that highlights each element’s label clearly.

Built on master slides for PowerPoint and Google Slides, this diagram includes editable vector circles, connector lines, and text boxes—all shapes are vector-based, allowing infinite scalability without quality loss. Smart guides ensure precise alignment, while the customization pane lets you adjust circle colors, swap icons, or modify connector styles in seconds. Text placeholders support both headings and descriptive paragraphs, enabling intuitive elaboration on each S factor.

Leverage multiple theme variants to match corporate branding—change color schemes to reflect departmental topics, apply accent hues to emphasize priority areas, or invert the layout for dark-mode presentations. All elements are fully grouped and labeled, streamlining layer management and collaborative editing. Whether illustrating strategic analysis, organizational design, or diagnostic assessments, this slide adapts seamlessly to leadership briefings, training workshops, or consulting proposals.

Optimized for high-resolution displays, the slide maintains clarity on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, and exports effortlessly to PDF, PNG, or JPEG for handouts and reports. Lightweight file size and standardized placeholder dimensions facilitate consistent formatting across your deck, reducing version-control complexity and accelerating the editing process. Use preconfigured shape animations to introduce each S factor sequentially, enhancing storytelling flow and audience engagement.

Customize further by importing icons or images within the circles to represent specific departments or initiatives. Incorporate your own imagery or backgrounds behind the diagram, adjust circle transparency for emphasis, and integrate additional SmartArt overlays without disrupting the core structure.
