Hi Everyone,
First post here and am wondering if someone can provide me some insight on how to structure a problem/case.
Whenever I approach a case (or any business problem), I find myself having difficulty in structuring the information provided. I find it difficult to identify the critical levers of the problem and do not know how to divide the problem into relevant buckets. This seems to me like a clear issue of me not knowing how to structure or create a relevant framework around the problem.
I am not sure how to specifically get better at this. Is it simply input = output where I just need to get more practice in the cases themselves? It could potentially also be my lack of business knowledge around the cases themselves (the more information you have relevant to the context, the better the probability of a non-generic solution).
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this information and the response. Definitely going to check out the resources and articles you provided. The idea of thinking of buckets as building blocks is one I never really heard phrased this way and it's super interesting. Quick question on this, would the building blocks change according to the type of problem? If so, what can I do to better identify the 'right' building blocks?
My pleasure! Yes. The building blocks inherently change with each question. There are infinite questions in the world, so we need to be flexible in how we create the structure. Yes, there are techniques here to do so, but none of them are “here’s a sentence and now you can do it!”. Rather, it takes weeks of training
