Wait, isn't the 'hard S' the one that's stuck in traffic on the way to the exam? *laughs* Anyway, I think Carli has the right idea.

I'm just glad the question didn't ask about the 'soft Ss'. Those are always the hardest to pin down! *chuckles*

This is a trick question! The 'hard Ss' are actually all of the above. McKinsey's model is holistic, and these elements are all interconnected.

Hmm, I agree with Micaela, but I'd also add F to the list. An organization's values and beliefs are definitely part of the 'hard Ss'.

I think B, D, and E are the correct answers. The 'hard Ss' in McKinsey's model refer to the tangible aspects of an organization, like its processes, people, and capabilities.
