Company Focus Audit

Company focus can be seen as the facilitator for the other market focus elements (customer, competition, and corporate strategy).

Without a good company focus, the successful planning and implementation of and control over your enterprise’s activities will not be possible.

By denying your enterprise or business unit the opportunity to manage and integrate its internal business environment effectively, you create obstacles to sound decision-making and strategy implementation.

The Company Focus Audit is based on an interpretation of your enterprise’s or business unit’s score-outcome for six of the McKinsey 7-S Framework elements, i.e. -

1. Structure
2. System
3. Shared Values
4. Skills
5. Style
6. Staff

Your Company Focus Audit will also give you an indication of how agile, flexible, and relevant your enterprise’s or business unit’s company focus elements are in a dynamic market environment. (Strategy, the seventh element of the McKinsey 7-S Framework, forms the basis of the Corporate Strategy Focus Audit.)
