Break Into Consulting - Frameworks I wish I knew

I used to be in your seats a few years ago, willing to enter the strategy consulting world. And when I was a candidate preparing for the interviews, I was quite disappointed by the case solving guides and frameworks in most preparation books.

To that end, I have developed with Bilal, a BCG colleague, a comprehensive guide to the most challenging part of a consulting case interview: structuring.

This guide is a list of frameworks covering most consulting cases, that we tested and refined on many candidates to help you master the decisive first minutes of a case interview: setting a perfect case structure to solve the business case.

I used to be in your seats a few years ago, willing to enter the strategy consulting world.

And when I was a candidate preparing for the interviews, I was quite disappointed by the case solving guides and frameworks in most preparation books. The existing frameworks were not always helpful:

• Absence of case cracking logic: Available frameworks were more a list of modules i.e. market, product, customer ... but without the logic on how to connect them to crack the case
• Lack of insights: Explanations on how to use the frameworks were limited
• Irrelevance: Frameworks were often not applicable or relevant.
