Key takeaways

  • Practice reading a case pack against the clock and building three or four slides that lead with the answer.
  • Running out of time before the recommendation, or in a group, either staying silent or dominating the discussion.
  • The practice pack is original. It teaches the format; it does not copy any firm's written or group case.
By the end you will be able to
  • Run a written case from pack to presentation within the time limit
  • Help a group case move forward without dominating it
  • Know how these formats vary across Europe, India and the Gulf
