We asked the partner leading this study, Michael, to document each day of the study as he thought through the issues, managed the client and led the engagement team on this complex assignment.
The subsequent live-blog was one of the most popular programs we ever released. The posts were prepared at the end of each day of the study so you can see how the thinking on the study evolved. We have since re-edited the live blog.
At 600 pages long, the re-edited live blog is probably the most detailed guide anywhere demonstrating how a partner thinks on a study. You will see that it is not a linear process. It is not a function of simply finding and plugging in a framework. Though there is a clear logic to the thought process.

Beat Your Nerves: Tips for Being Confident in an InterviewLucas Group
How to be confident in an interview is about becoming ready for a productive, two-sided conversation. Strong candidates go in with knowledge of the company and an eagerness to learn. When your mind is prepared and you have questions to ask about your potential role and responsibilities, there’s no place at the table for nerves. Really great job interviews are a two-way street. Here are proven tips for making that happen.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

2 Great studies can be staffed with consultants from any
background
Your graduating school plays a minor role in determining if you will be an outstanding strategy
consultant
1 Non-Ivy Manager MBA + 2 Ivy MBA Associates
One of the most important roles a partner has is to not just help the client be successful, but to help the
executives be successful. Guillermo has very good qualities and I can see him making a very big impact at the
bank. We had a fairly long discussion this morning, yes – on a Sunday, and we discussed his career.
I will put together a plan to guide him through the process and make sure he is never surprised about the
findings. He should be able to seamlessly take over once we depart. Moreover, I will equip him to be a better
executive at the bank.
In other words, one of my goals is to figure how to make the banking study both a success for the bank and for
Guillermo.
I suspect my relationship still has to develop with the CEO before I can find ways to help him in his personal
career. There is still time for that.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the fine teams of interns selected for this study.
Engagement Manager: Nimisha B. MBA student from a top-20 program in the USA. Background in
consumer packaged goods and insurance before going on to enroll for her graduate studies. She holds an
undergraduate degree in statistics and accounting. Nimisha is the youngest member of the team and fluent in
English & Hindi.
(1) Nimisha demonstrated exceptional poise and communication skills during her case interviews. She was
also very skilled at solving cases without using frameworks, wherein she relied on natural logic.
(2) Nimisha finished her undergraduate degree with a 4.0 equivalent GPA from an emerging markets school.
She will however probably not finish in the top 10% in her MBA class. Though there is still a year for her to
turn that around and I am confident she will.
(2) Nimisha’s hidden talent is singing Bollywood songs.
Associate: Peter Z. MBA student from a top-3 program in the USA. He has a background in investment
banking and private equity. Peter is the oldest member of the team and wants to return to investment banking
or consulting. Peter is fluent in English, Spanish and German.
(1) Peter graduated with 3.8 GPA from an Ivy school and has a pretty impressive background in sports. He
also had a natural skill in cases, but was exceptional on communication. Peter will likely graduate with highest
distinction for his MBA.
(2) Peter’s hidden talent is…I am still to find out.

Associate: Albert G. MBA student from a top-3 program in the USA. Albert worked in financial services
equity trading before taking time off to support various social causes in Latin America. He founded a non-
profit and a start-up before enrolling for an MBA. Albert is fluent in English, Spanish and Creole.
(1) Albert graduated with a 4.0 GPA from an Ivy school where he captained the Rugby team and was also a
tutor in the bridging program where he was voted “Teacher of the Year” 3 times in succession.
(1) Albert’s hidden talent is teaching American’s Rugby over just one beer.
When is a star a manager
Linked to this, I have noticed that everyone who views the profiles of the team members automatically asks an
indirect question about why Nimisha was selected. Guillermo asked the questions pretty directly since he saw
more of a finance background in the two associates on the study.
I suspect her non-Ivy background bothers others far more than it registers with her. I am not even sure she is
aware of it – as it should be.
I had to remind him that we are relying less on past knowledge and more on the problem solving process, and
that Nimisha had a CPG background, which would be useful.
Even so, we received a few emails from readers about why Nimisha was selected as the best person on the
team and as the engagement manager.
Readers, and mostly tier-2 consultants, just assume that being the engagement manager means you are the best
person on the study.
That is a significant misunderstanding.
If I had known each person on the team for 2 years and worked with him or her over that time, then yes, that
assumption is correct.
However, when I have an “internship” view of the candidates then that assumption is no longer true. I have
only known then over about 2 weeks before they arrived.
I would never make the most gifted team member the engagement manager.
That is Albert.
I do not want him to be bogged down by the daily burden of coordinating the team.
Albert needs to have freedom to roam around the study, under my guidance, and develop insights on the value
analyses.
Nimisha is confidant and a good coordinator, and coupled with her intellect, she can manage the team.
That is a Sir Alex Ferguson lesson. Your best playmaker should not be burdened with the captaincy. They
should have the freedom to roam around, knowing the captain will orchestrate the game around them.

Many assumed Nimisha was the best due to being assigned engagement manager. She is the best engagement
manager but I believe Albert will have the biggest impact.
When we split up for focus interviews, Nimisha will lead one group and I will be paired up with Albert to
guide him. No point having the partner and engagement manager in the same group. If this happened who
would make decisions in the other group?
Most of my lessons in business and leadership come from business, sports and the military stories…so I took
the team to watch the Brazil vs. Croatia game.
I could teach them plenty from that game, about strategy and tactics, but maybe not economics.
Over the course of the next 12 weeks – 2 weeks before the study and 10 weeks during the study – I will
continuously stress a consistent message to the team.
You can do many things in life. Play the piano, football, go surfing, learn to code etc.
What you do does not matter. How you do it matters, and it matters intensely. One person can make a
difference. In fact, throughout history it has only ever been one person at a time that has made a difference.
I want the team to understand this. This is a not an internship. That is just a title and a meaningless one at that.
We have the chance to change lives. If we do this right, people will look back and say a team from
Firmsconsulting led this and the study made a difference. It made America a better nation and changed the
lives of countless people.
It found a way to help immigrant parents and low-income earners find a new path to the American Dream.
What could be a greater cause worth pursuing? I can think of nothing more important.
Consulting is an enormous privilege and in 10 weeks who knows how much change we can affect.
I always ask my teams to summarize the final findings into a 2-page report. A simple step for a simple
summary. Yet, we sign that report.
Artists must sign their work. You must have pride in what you do. You must want your name to be attached to
the study.
QUESTION(S) OF THE DAY: Do you think generating pride and excitement in a team’s work can radically
change the quality of the output?
