Start lesson 1 Stretch cases: profit to pricing, and entry to acquisition
Key takeaways
- Handle a switch in case type without losing the thread.
- Real cases rarely stay one type. When the interviewer changes the question, say what the new question is, carry forward the numbers you already have, and build a small new structure for the new part.
- The third stretch case moves from operations to cost to organization.
By the end you will be able to
- Handle a switch in case type without losing the thread
- Carry numbers from one part of a case into the next
- Test a client's idea channel by channel, and push back with numbers
- End with one recommendation that covers every part
