What are common challenges in applying the McKinsey 7S Framework and how can they be overcome?

Common challenges in applying the McKinsey 7S Framework include resistance to change, lack of understanding of the framework, and difficulty in identifying and aligning the seven elements (strategy, structure, systems, shared values, skills, style, and staff). These challenges can be overcome by ensuring clear communication of the purpose and benefits of the framework, providing adequate training to the team, and involving all levels of the organization in the process. It's also crucial to regularly review and adjust the elements to maintain alignment.

Question was asked on:

Due to the rapid stream of new employees and changes in tech, some staff doesn't possess the systems skills needed. On top of that, the organization's values and mission are not clear to everyone on the team. After performing the McKinsey 7S model analysis and discovering this, Alix resolves the issues by introducing onboarding and learning programs and brings all Whitehawk's key elements back into alignment.
