ESH model
Also called: balance, coherence and heterogeneity model
The ESH model helps organizations look more closely at their internal operations. ESH stands for balance, coherence and heterogeneity. The model shows how components such as strategy, structure, systems, culture and people affect each other.
Companies often use the ESH model in organizational change. This is because a new strategy only works well if processes, behavior and responsibilities move with it. If you change one component, it often affects other components within the organization as well.
In practice, the ESH model helps make bottlenecks visible. Think of teams pursuing different goals, systems that slow down collaboration or a culture that inhibits innovation.
