Sunrise Textiles Ltd. has decided to enter a new export market. Its board wants a framework that checks whether the organisation's structure, systems, shared values, skills, style and staff are all aligned with the new strategy. Which framework is best suited to this purpose?

The McKinsey 7S framework is the right choice. It reviews strategy, structure, systems, shared values, skills, style and staff to see whether they fit together. The other models analyse industry competition, business portfolios or growth options rather than internal organisational alignment during implementation.

Explanation

The McKinsey 7S framework examines strategy, structure, systems, shared values, skills, style and staff and checks their alignment. Porter's Five Forces analyses industry competition, the BCG matrix is a portfolio tool, and the Ansoff grid shows growth directions, so none of these checks internal alignment.
