I would like to conduct a case study on organizational culture and values and the involvement of top management in understanding the cultural values and differences prevailing in an organization.
I would like to use the McKinsey's 7S framework to evaluate the current organization structure, systems, and processes and the values prevailing in the subcultures existing among the employees.
I would also like to use Schein's three levels of culture model of Artifacts, Norms, and Assumptions to understand the organization's culture.
At the end, I would like to draw a contrast with Senge's Five Disciplines on learning organizations and highlight the importance of creating a learning culture in the organization.
Scholars and experts, please let me know if I need to add any other O.D. models for this purpose.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Mayuk,
Good to know that you will use McKinsey's '7S' framework. But I need to understand why you are doing all this. Is it a part of your MBA project or are you an HR Manager doing it for your organization? What action will you take once the results are out? Lastly, how are you going to assess your organization using McKinsey's '7S' framework?
Thanks,

Dear Mayuk,
You can refer to the following book for McKinsey's '7S' framework:
Mastering Business Planning and Strategy by Paul M. Elkin, published by Thorogood.
This is a very good book; you can refer to it. However, I have a doubt. Strategy is one thing, and an organization's culture or values are another. The former is an outside-in approach, and the latter is an inside-out approach. How are you going to conjoin these two?
Ok...

Strategy, structure, and systems are the organization's hardware, whereas staff, skills, and styles are the software that acts as the intellectual support for the entire organization.
Shared values or the superordinate goals act as the cultural glue, serving as the brain of the entire organization. Organizational culture and values are directly proportional to the organization's mission and vision, and also determine the way people think and act within the organization.
I would like to draw an inference in this context and evaluate how top management involvement in developing culture will result in improving all the 7 S's in the organization.
To emphasize the importance and understanding of organizational culture, the three levels of organizational culture by Edgar Schein - artifacts, values, and underlying basic assumptions can be highlighted.
Thanks a ton for your reply, and keep in touch... we can connect on LinkedIn.

Dear Mr. Deepak Jain,
An additional tool (and not an alternative tool as you asked) to McKinsey's '7S' is SWOT Analysis and Porter's Five Forces Model. You can refer to any book on strategic management, and you will find information about it.
Thanks,
