Hello
I have questions about structuring:
1- if the interviewer hands on an exhibit that shifts the focus from one bucket in my structure to another. What should be said to stay structured even if I did not get to examine the bucket of focus in full yet? example: If I am starting in lever X of my framework and the interviewer hand me an exhibit that shifts the focus to Y which is my second lever in my structure , how should I react?
2- When brainstorming, it is advised to categorize the ideas into buckets and stay structured but is it fair to sometimes have one idea/bucket or just 2 buckets in total and maybe 2 ideas/bucket? for example how would you categorize ideas for selling strategies when all ideas are actually fitting under selling strategies to attract customers: partnering with X, establish a rewards program, Bundling etc. and if I wanna categorize them they would each be a bucket by itself: partnerships, rewards program and bundling (LoL).
Cheers

First you might need to read my question again because you jumped to conclusions and you are judging me not answering me ! second You cannot just assume what I understand and what I don’t, third you cannot generalize by calling case books immature and nonsense, fourth I am on here asking for help there’s no need to answer with this attitude if u feel you are way above this level of questions you can simply skip ! Last, the last thing I would search is this level of answers :-)
Sorry if I offended you. This was not my intention. I am not not judging you but want to clearly point out where your conception (as per your description) has a flaw. It might sound harsh, I know, but it is what it is. The books might not be complete nonsense - but the way they teach structuring definitely is! At least, if you aspire to think like a seasoned MBB consultant (can't speak of other companies). You might wnat to reconsider what kind of answers really bring you forward, instead of amplifying inherent misconceptions. But this is your choice of course. Cheers, Sidi
