The Babson College Process Management Research Center has found that there are 6 critical elements in becoming a process focused organization--Strategic Alignment, Culture and Leadership, People, Governance, Methods, and Information Technology.

McKinsey 7s model is simple, and marketable with executives. I have developed numerous models with much extended utility but it always comes down to these 7 core elements especially when you want to sell your ideas. In fact the seven items you mentioned are captured.
