Question
The McKinsey 7S Framework is unique in its holistic and interconnected approach to organizational change. Unlike other models that may focus on one or two areas, the 7S Framework emphasizes the importance of seven interrelated factors: strategy, structure, systems, shared values, skills, style, and staff. This lack of hierarchy among these factors suggests that significant progress in one part of the organization will be difficult without working on the others. This interconnectedness sets it apart from other organizational development models.
