- 10. Structuring starts with clarifying questions Clarifying the objective • Measurable • Has a time-frame • Includes any potential limitations " Should I invest 100k in this business for 1 year if I want to get 15% return? " Clarifying the business model "Could you please tell me how the company actually makes money?" Asking the questions that will help you narrow down your structure ”Do we care about the required investments or we should just concentrate on the operational objective?" Casecopilot.com
- 11. Key structuring rules 1. Not all structure can and should be MECE 2. Buckets should be equally important (i.e. standalone workstreams) 3. Bullet points should be very specific 4. You should adapt your bullet points to the context of the case 5. Don’t mix diagnostics and solutions 6. Prioritize bullet points with higher probability of an insight Casecopilot.com

Markets • Value proposition • Pricing • Costs Product Customers Risks Prioritize countries to enter • Regulation • Market trends • Market size • Who are the competitors • Number of the competitors • Competitors brands • Profitability of the competitors • Products of the competitors • Prices • Costs • Customer habits • Customer segmentation • Switching costs • Political • Economical • Organizational The buckets are not equally important. Can they be standalone workstreams on the real project? Is the Product bucket necessarily the the first thing to analyze when entering the market? Is Regulation necessarily the the first thing to analyze in the Market? Too vague, qualitative and not beneficial Buckets are not balanced in terms of workload Bullet points are not tailored to case / industry Casecopilot.com
