Human Resource is a very crucial part of an
organisation. All the activities related to business
organisation rotate around human resource. Moreover,
the prime function of human resource is to manage
activities of business with proper efficiency in order

McKinsey 7s model
Organisational restructuring will result in
introduction of new personnel’s in middle and top level
management. M&S has to face various kind of issues at the
time of restructuring. Some employees, who are not getting
promoted and new responsibilities, may get upset and leave
organisation or feel demotivated. Few workers may not
have required skills which is essential for holding new
position. Company will try to align all the elements, if some
are not well aligned then optimal organisational design will
be made by setting goals.
Step-1 Identifying areas that are not well-aligned
Skills and system are two elements of McKinsey 7s
model which are not well-aligned in this case. Employees,
who will work on new positions, do have technical skills but
they lack interpersonal skills like how to resolve conflict,
active listening etc. Making a system for developing new
abilities in employees is also a complicated task because
every worker has different set of skills and their working
style is also different.
For a business organisation, it is required to implement
changes that aid them to survive in the emerging
market. In respect of Mark and Spencer, change
management practices consider alternation in business
functional activities in order to render numerous
responsibilities to different employees. For this, firm
can analyse effectiveness of changes with the help of
different models and theories. There are Lewin’s
change model is determining below:
Unfreeze: Once a business organisation realizes their need
to change their business operation in order to capture good
market share. They basically aim that unfreezing they
current adopted product. This basically done in order to
make improvements within the business. Marks & Spencer
can effectively implement this strategy when the company
is not able to earn the desired profits.
Change: After unfreezing the current plan of the
organisation. The adopted change is implemented. Under
this process the employees for the organisation usually
requires training so that they can essentially perform the
task with accurate efficiency.
Freeze: Under this the changes adopted by respective
company is freeze. This a vital process under change
management system. Moreover, it is a very important
factor because the new change is fixed.
