1.1 Overview: Problem dissection
The Framework Design Phase involves structuring complex problems into manageable parts and developing a systematic approach for analysis. It ensures comprehensive, organized, and hypothesis-driven problem-solving.
By outlining a framework at the start of a case interview, you not only stay organized but also provide the interviewer with a clear visual roadmap of your thought process and direction.
What is Tested:
Ability to break down complex problems into manageable components: This involves segmenting the issue into discrete parts that can be analyzed individually.
Using a logical framework or approach (e.g., issue trees, hypothesis-driven analysis): Applying structured methods to organize and analyze information systematically.
Ensuring that the analysis is comprehensive and mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive (MECE): Ensuring all aspects of the problem are covered without overlap, leaving no important factor unaddressed.
Ability to formulate clear and testable hypotheses: Developing specific, testable ideas about potential solutions or causes of the problem.
