McKinsey 7S framework According to Waterman et al., organizational change is not simply a matter of structure, although structure is a significant variable in the management of change. Again it is not a simple relationship between strategy and structure, although strategy is a critical aspect. In their view effective organizational change may be understood to be a complex relationship between strategy, structure, systems, style, skills, staff and super co-ordinate goals.

The framework suggests that there is a multiplicity of factors that influence organizations ability to change and its proper mode of change.
