Odusanya, Temitope Omotola

Abstract

This analysis details the background, reviewed literature, the 7S conceptualization, findings, detailed survey of data, and presentations for KADGIS and recommendations. Based on the findings from KADGIS, the 7S model is a practical, comprehensive yet dynamic tool for analysis and action. The study majorly relied on primary data that is, a questionnaire comprising of varieties of over forty (40+) questions, with a high and satisfactory response rate. KADGIS’s Service Charter and informal conversations were also helpful in deducing the comprehensive 7s analysis of the big-sized Agency. The 7s framework was useful in deciphering the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of KADGIS. These hard and soft 7S' detailed several aspects of the organization and how they interact. Furthermore, it offered powerful insights into the management actions and the Agency as a whole. This report is therefore beneficial to the Kaduna State Government, KADGIS staff, Stakeholders, and the general public. The 7S model assessment at KADGIS reflected the giant strides of the Agency and its overall operations. The feedback from the 7Ss also exposed the inherent gaps at KADGIS and the need to first look inward in order to achieve global best practices (in line with KADGIS’s mission statement) and maximum potential both internally and externally.
