Hey there,
Don't learn frameworks by heart or use cookie-cutter frameworks. You want to learn how to come up with your own frameworks that are
- relevant
- tailored to the situation
- concrete
At the core, MBB wants to see creative ideas communicated in a structured manner, the more creative and tailored to the situation the better.
The time of pre-learned frameworks for MBB interviews is long over and you need to learn how to come up with your own frameworks regardless of the
- industry
- function
- context of the case
How can you learn that?
By doing structuring drills with a coach to learn the right habits, then on your own.
Cheers,
Florian

Hi there,
I'm really sorry, but it's not so simple.
Non-quantitative just means the case prompt could be anything!
You need to clearly understand the objective and break the problem down into the key components that matter. This takes a LOT of practice and proper coaching/training.
You need to have a hypothesES-driven or, rather, and objective-driven approach. Your entire framework is a set of hypotheses and views as to how to solve a problem.

Hi there,
I don’t think it is possible to answer if you don’t provide some examples of questions you find challenging to structure.
Structuring a “qualitative part” totally depends on the objective of the client and what exactly they are asking for.
Best,
Francesco

Hey there! When it comes to frameworks - here is what I think:
There is no such thing as a magic framework
If you can give me more context on a case-by-case basis - I can help you out with drafting the right approach and framework. Hopefully that will jog your thinking and get you going!
