Call McKinsey Company Consultants. They gave me a skeleton of the
Model to use for a paper..They have an office in Chicago, IL that's
where I called. There are several offices thru out the country.

Both replies you previously received are correct -- the original source was
Pascale & Athos. It was also referenced in Peters and Waterman, Search for
Excellence as the McKinsey model.

PM:
I have been using a model that I came across that describes 7 dimensions of
an organization. All of the dimensions begin with the letter "s" - (hence
the name). It begins with Shared vision and values, then shows the
Strategy, Structure, System, Style, etc. I have used the model to describe
the areas of an organization that a leader needs to focus on.
Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the author of the model, nor the name
of the book in which the model was described. I understand that there may
also be a similar model that includes 9 dimensions of an organization -
again all beginning with an "S".
Can anyone help point me in the right direction for either one of these
models?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
