The McKinsey 7S model provides a checklist of 7 areas that need to be in place to ensure a culture exists for example an innovative culture. From this checklist a company can decide what needs to improved from these different parts. For example Skills of some of the staff may be weaker than needed so this means that they would need some extra training to deliver tasks.
I believe this is an innovative way of indentifying what needs to be developed in the company. Although it doesn't tell you information that the company wouldn't know, just shows it in a different way which might help with ideas. They would need to look into Knowledge Managment to get the information.
An exam board, the Council for Awards in Childcare and Education used the 7S model to identify gaps in its culture. It wanted to become Market Oriented and used the 7S model to document its strengths and weaknesses and develop a plan of change.
