Hey this is a super basic structure question, but just went through all the material on this site instructing that the first step you should create an Issue Tree structure. Then I went through the case examples and see that this is not done often in the suggested answers? Am I missing something? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
There are many ways to structure a case, not just an issue tree:
You should be flexible in your approaches. Every time you build a certain structure you should take into account:

Hi,
unfortunately, most of the cases do not show an issue tree, probably because difficult to draw in a document. I recommend to approach every case with an issue tree and to show it to the interviewer. It is a powerful tool largely used by consultants in brainstorming sessions and much appreciated if correctly used during your interview.
Best,
Antonello

Agree!
This is a key part of 95% of the interviews. I encourage you to practice it always.
Here is sometimes substituted by "Diagram 1 - Case structure", but it´s not the same.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara

Hello,
In the case examples here on Preplounge the issue tree is always replaced by "Diagram 1 - Case structure". Anyway I agree with you that a proper framework is missing and I always suggest my candidates to write down a real Issue Tree structure. During real interviews a structure like the one proposed in the examples is not enough.
If you are struggling with frameworks and you want to discuss them, feel free to write me.
Best,
Luca
