The ability to “Think Strategically” is key in case interviews. However, many candidates lack a consistent, effective and reproducible method that works regardless of the industry. In this material, I will break Strategic thinking down to is component parts — the five pillars of Strategic thinking to help you build the conceptual foundation required for a strong performance during the case. You will learn how to think from the basics, ask the right questions, structure your approach effectively, and formulate specific and relevant hypotheses. You will practice with real case studies. Thinking strategically reduces the need for content memorisation and frameworks, making the case experience more fluid, impactful and enjoyable.
