The Reason Why Shared Values are in the Center of the 7S-es The 7S framework of McKinsey when applied to organisations will have different systems, strategy, skills, staff etc for different departments. For example, the Skills required in the HR department would be different as compared to the Sales Department, however only Shared Values is something that will remain common for all the departments, and which keeps all the other S-es intact.

Central Among the 7 S's While undergoing an assessment in our organization, we constantly refer to our superordinate goals even when we are discussing the hard or the soft S's. Perhaps that is the reason why it is at the center of the 7-S because it is the core value of the organization...

Shared Values are Central to All Shared values are the highest level of goals set by the organization to itself. Say for example, the organizational goal is to delivery quality. This will serve as a shared value for each of the peripheral entities. For example:
- Skills: Develop/manage skills through quality trainings to meet the shared values of delivering quality.
- Staff: Acquire quality staff to ensure quality work is done, so on and so forth. Each peripheral area is influenced, organized, managed and delivers to meet the shared values.

Shared Values are in the Center of All we Do Values represent what we are about, what we believe in, what we stand for. They represent a sets of shared beliefs and behaviours.
Focussing an organisation around clear values i.e. respect, integrity, commitment, excellence lays a foundation for effective leadership and management.

Shared Values in 7S Model All the S-es are interrelated to each other and Shared Values is at the center because it gives the base to all other factors... All the remaining Ses are relying on this factor... If the shared values are clear then lucidity preserves and objectives can be achieved more easily in a dynamic environment...

Shared Values and Vision in the 7S Model In this 7S-model shared values (and vision) are most important. This factor affects the connection and control of the other meanings of the 7-S model. Values as strategic management instrument helps in several ways, including the following:
- Motivates the employees
- Focuses employees on most relevant activities
- Creates a framework by which employees understand how to perform new activities and how everything fits in the overall picture of the business.
- Depending on the values and vision as well as the way they are communicated, management can succeed to make the business as a whole more effective.

Why Shared Values are at the Center of the 7-S Model Shared values at the center of 7S theory acts as a hub of a wheel that controls both centripetal and centrifugal motions of an organisation.
If the hub of the wheel is designed well and the wheel is set into motion, momentum is evenly distributed to all other 6 factors to enable perpetual growth of any organisation!

Center of 7S I think that the reason for the "shared values" put in the center is that every individual values things differently and that it is necessary for one to be effective to consider all of the 7S-es and share his thoughts no matter how little to everyone. In the team as his contribution. In the process the exchanges increase the value and the worth of a decision, in cases where a decision is to be made.

Why Shared Value is in the Center of the 7S Model Business activities require a high degree of mutual alignment among all 7 S-es. Each 'S' must be consistent with all other factors for them to reinforce one another. This interconnectedness creates a dynamic system. The shared values of McKinsey's model does this.

Shared Values 7S's Center Shared values at the center simply tells that all of the factors and/or elements converges to make the whole thing work as efficiently and effectively.

Shared Values 7S's Center Shared values can be classified as human centered and system centered. More than the values perhaps the spirit behind the values matter. If they becomes the hub of the model then it becomes the foundation of everything. Spirit can be defined as that form of internal energy which if it gets aligned and optimized will defy all limitations in achieving the desired righteous values without any defect.

Why Shared Values are in the Center of 7S Model That is because very simply "shared values" are the CORE and BASIS of each organization to think, talk, behave, decide and contribute to the society.

It's the HOW to Every WHAT in the Organizational Business Plan Shared Values are the Organization's HOW ("road map codes") to its WHAT ("Strategic Goals").
So for example a Strategic Goal of a business firm could be: "Increase the revenue by X%".
An actionable goal can be: "Expand across markets to acquire new market shares / clients if one of their values is Growth or Globalisation". But not if their value is merely stay in business ("Survive").

Shared Footings My thoughts on this question.
As I understand it, first come the footings, then the foundations then the building, with its façade.
The footings should preferably be rock rather than sand or even swamp soil, i.e. something that is stable.
Shared Values equate to the footings.
Firstly, because they are the BASIS for the ethics and policies of the organisation's practices. Hopefully these will be positive and considerate.
Secondly, because they are SHARED, therefore common to the mindset of all of the organisation's stakeholders. This is important because if the different stakeholders have conflicting values then this is the equivalent to building on 'sand'. If there is conflict over the values that the organisation is working to then this will, undoubtedly, become the basis for conflict within the other 6Ss.
From this point of view they can only be positioned centrally; at the heart of the model.
