Hey community,
I am a little bit confused with the use and different of issue trees and conceptual frameworks.
Some people only recommend using issue trues. Have heard this from McKinsey interviews and candidates were given feedback that the case had not enough layers and no clear structure. These candidates, however, used conceptual frameworks with 4-5 buckets/areas to consider and 2-3 issues under each bucket. The question is what is the correct approach and can every case been translated into an issue tree? A conceptual framework can also be MECE, or why do McKinsey and some other consulting companies strongly emphasize on the issue tree structure for case-solving?
