The article is devoted to the development of a conceptual model of risk-oriented business process management in engineering companies entitled 7S+R, which is based on the classical McKinsey 7S framework and integrates risk management as a cross-cutting element of the organizational system. In today’s dynamic and highly uncertain business environment, engineering companies operate under complicated conditions characterized by high technological complexity of projects, significant investment volumes, multi-level cooperation with subcontractors, and strict regulatory requirements. This leads to the emergence of strategic, operational, financial, human resource, and project risks that directly affect the stability and performance of business processes.
Existing risk management frameworks, including ISO 31000, COSO ERM, and PMBOK, establish general principles and logic of risk management. However, they do not provide sufficient granularity at the level of specific organizational elements and do not allow for the identification of risk sources within the structure of business processes. At the same time, the McKinsey 7S model, which is widely used for organizational diagnostics, focuses on internal organizational alignment but does not explicitly incorporate risks as a systemic management factor.
The proposed 7S+R model addresses this gap by integrating the Risk component into all seven organizational elements - strategy, structure, systems, shared values, management style, staff, and skills. Risk is treated not as a separate management object, but as a multidimensional characteristic that permeates each element of the model and determines its resilience to internal and external threats. This approach makes it possible to move from fragmented risk management toward a comprehensive risk-oriented architecture of business processes.
The practical value of the model lies in its applicability for comprehensive organizational diagnostics, support of strategic and operational managerial decisions, as well as for designing transformation programs and increasing the adaptability of engineering companies in volatile and risk-intensive environments.
