827: Estimation = Brainstorming = Structures (Case Interview & Management Consulting classics)


Listen Later

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we speak about the three core technical concepts around cases.

We always teach clients estimation technique first, followed by brainstorming technique and finally full case technique. There is a simple reason for this, which is explained in this podcast. Estimations tend to be, but not always, a brainstorm with very few or just one branch. A brainstorm is therefore an estimation equation with multiple branches. A full case structure is a very large brainstorm with mini-brainstorms at each new branch. We want candidates to see this evolution so they can understand how crucial brainstorming is to the entire case interview approach.
