Hi Ariela,

If this indeed was the question received at a BCG interview (as your response to Francesco indicates), then, pull out your casing toolkit!

  1. You need to clarify the objective
    1. Ok, so we're looking to prepare for a case, is that correct? We need to come up with a plan to be case ready?
  2. Time for clarifying questions:
    1. What is our timline?
    2. What companies are we applying to?
    3. How much preparation have we already done
  3. Framework
    1. Well, plenty of Q&A answers here for you to create a great framework/buckets (for example, FIT bucket and Case bucket)

Even for a written case?

Ian on Aug 04, 2020

Absolutely! In a written case you still need to narrow your framework/hypotheses. You still need a plan of attack in order to parse through all of the information you will receive...so as to not get distracted by information that doesn't matter
