The 3S winning formula sets the standards, goals, and mission of the anization. How do you get people (particularly pivotal jobholders) to actually follow those goals? While you can dictate what skills and shared values you want , the anization must provide guidance, motivation, and monitoring to see that the right decisions are made. This is provided through the other Ss – structure, systems, staff, and style. Collectively known as the ―design levers‖, each of these four should be set by considering the specific skills and shared values you want to instill in the anization’s people – and balancing them with other designs that might be suggested by other specific skills and shared values needed. 182。Shared values. Simple, agreedupon principles that say what is important around here. Taken together, the first 3Ss define the pany’s vision: an overriding goal that people in the anization strive to achieve。 Energized by an extraordinarily intense, performancedriven environment.

It is 40 minutes long and should be presented in 3 short segments. Between these segments, the faculty member runs the attached exercises, adds any mentary he/she considers necessary to clarify the concepts, and provides personal experience on selected topics. A copy of the videotape and moderator’s guide with exercises can be requested from the Firm ? This document seeks to answer 4 questions SECTION 1 Why do associates need to consider anizational issues in every engagement? SECTION 2 What frameworks do we use to help our clients improve anizational performance? SECTION 3 What role does an associate play in anization work? SECTION 4 Where can an associate find out more? ? McKinsey’s mission is to have lasting and substantial impact on our clients. To succeed, we need to work all three of the critical elements: choose the best strategy, develop worldclass operations, align the anization. These three elements both reinforce and constrain each other. The best strategy is only relevant if it is operationally and anizationally feasible. The optimal anizational design depends upon the strategic requirement and the operational methods of the client. This document focuses on one vertex of this triangular relationship. It would be wrong, however, to believe that you can achieve the impact we seek by focusing on one vertex. We need to consider all three in every study. ? CRITICAL ELEMENTS FOR IMPACT Successful strategy Efficient operations Effective anization ? We only achieve impact when the anizations we serve are successful in implementing the strategies and operational methods we propose. However, a recent survey of engagements in which clients failed to implement proposed strategies found, in three cases out of four, that the client anization was not changeready or even capable of implementing the strategy we proposed. To ensure that we
