Case Overview / Communication, Logic & Analytics
(60 minutes)

• David will kick-off at a fast pace with topics like:
• What the interviewer really wants
• How to show off the CLASSIC skills that interviewers need to see during the full interview process
• How to develop answer first IMPACT stories about your background that show you are logical and ready to solve cases
• How to use your notes and natural logic to break down problems and solve tough problems
• Homework after this session will include developing 12 IMPACT examples, practicing logic exercises and determining your CLASSIC skill weaknesses

Market Sizing Practice and Integrated Thinking
(75 minutes)

• David will outline some great ways to build consistency on your market sizing cases with his SPEAK method and let you practice with a partner. 
• He'll then introduce you to the concept of using your own integrated framework and how you can approach a variety of business cases:
• How to predict the next step in the case using the MBACASE Case Path 
• Think in an integrated manner and be ready to take on any business case
• How to develop your own structured approach using common-sense and good logic
• Learn how to manage your notes, analysis and structure while communicating to your interviewer
• Use the FRAME method to determine soft spots that need additional drilling and improvement
• Homework after the session will include analyzing the same market sizing cases from a different angle and developing a personal approach to your notes and problem structuring
• Includes a 15 minute break

Solving Mini and Full Business Cases
(75 minutes)

• Now the group will put these concepts into practice and solve a mini and a full, analytical business case.  Both cases are unique and not found in the book Crack the Case.  With the help of volunteers and lots of group participation, you will:
• Practice developing an approach to both cases and understand common structuring pitfalls
• Practice qualitative and quantitative aspects of the case using handouts and "data dumps"
• Break down numbers to gain insights
• Learn how to use your notes and data effectively to generate conclusions quickly
• Homework after the session will include reviewing both cases in part and then redoing them. Additional free cases that will reinforce the concepts learned will be available for download.
