Problem:
Write a 3- to 4-page paper in which you analyze the U.S. Army using the McKinsey 7S Framework. Analyzing this change process and developing your thoughts about it based on the background material. The larger, more systemic the change, the better. However, substantive change within a unit, function, or division can also work. Substantive change may include things like:
• A new CEO or other senior manager
• Changes in technical systems, e.g., implementation of an ERP system, new learning management systems, etc.
• Restructuring (changing the org chart)
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Changes in size, e.g., rapid growth or downsizing
• Changes in market focus
• Changes in strategy or mission
• Changes in major processes or procedures (e.g., Implementation of ISO9000 or other quality control processes)
• Business process re-engineering or business process improvement
• Analyze the subject company / organization using the McKinsey 7S model framework.
• Thoroughly examine each of the seven key areas of the model.
• Identify in which box each piece of data relates, and justify why.
• How well does the model work in this situation?
• What did you learn from applying the model to your subject organization that you didn't know before?
