Video transcript:
You're wondering, which framework will help you crack all cases with McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Bain, and the likes? Keep wondering, such a framework does not exist. Why should you learn as many frameworks as possible anyway? You will learn in today's video.
I'm Gabriel Goldbrain, and my mission is to get you a job in tier one and tier two top management strategy consulting firms like McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Bain, or others. For that, I developed the success training in which you will practice frameworks almost every day. This will help you develop business sense and an understanding of business-related questions. Apply for my Success training under www.gabrielgoldbrain.com.
So, why will it not be frameworks that help you to crack cases at McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, or Bain? It's because it's your creativity, it's your intuition which makes the difference. I mean, every business student—most of them—they know some, at least some frameworks. Everyone has heard about Porter's Five Forces; everyone has heard about Porter's Value Chain, the Four Ps of marketing, and similar frameworks. So, everyone knows something about frameworks. But what makes the difference? The difference is that you apply it in the best way, that you're creative, that you find the pressing points of a case. And that's the difficulty about it. The framework is good for giving you some structure around the case so that you don't forget to investigate certain areas. But then, when it really comes to cracking the case, then it's your creativity, intelligence, and your intuition to crack the case. You should think of frameworks rather as a gateway which lead you into the nitty-gritties of the case in a structured way.
Let's make an example. Assume an Asian restaurant chain would like to enter the European market and start with France. So, how could, for example, a framework help you to structure the case? So, if you use Porter's Five Forces, which is a very good framework for Market entry cases. So, you would say, first of all, we would look into the market.
You would probably look at the market size, its segments, the dynamics in the market.
You would also use the four remaining forces like you would talk about the supplier situations. Will you get this? How will you get the supplies for this customer?
You would look into the clients or the customers who visit these kinds of restaurants. You would make estimates on how many of them there are.
You would then talk about substitution products. What else could people like? Are there trends which are controversial? That Asian food is getting out of favor in France? Is there like a movement towards Asian foods? So, this you would look into.
We also look into the last force, which is potential competitions. What competitors? What Asian competitors would enter the market? Which competitors are already there in the market?
And so, that's how the framework would give you a good start so that basically the interviewer sees, "Okay, the guy, he covered all the major topics." But then what really solves you the case, that will typically be. You will talk with a consultant about the market size. You will have to calculate and estimate the market size, and there the framework is basically worthless. This is just about you making the right assumptions. And McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, and other consulting firms, they will assess if you cover all the factors that are required to calculate the market size. The same applies to the supply situation. The framework doesn't give you any details. It's all about you that you discover what is the supply situation. Where may problems arise? Is it possible to get certain ingredients for the menus these Asian food chain will serve? Will people like it? I mean, the French taste may be completely different than maybe the Asian one. Will French people like fried chicken feet? For sure No! Although they eat frogs, so maybe you will find some similarities there. But this is where your creativity will be asked, and that is the only thing which will solve the case. The framework gives you the entry point, but then it's up to you and your creativity.
But you can train it, and that's why I recommend my training. Go to www.gabrielgoldbrain.com to apply for the Goldbrain Success Training. We will do that all day. We will train you rigorously to get into the details and to develop that creativity, to beef up your common knowledge of your surrounding, to have the proper numbers in mind which you need for the estimates. That's what you will learn in the Goldbrain Success Training.
So, most of the business students, they know the frameworks. But for sure, there are some useful frameworks which business students did not come across. So, it's always, always makes a lot of sense to repeat frameworks and also to learn about new frameworks. But there is a group for which it is particularly useful to deal with frameworks, to learn about business frameworks. These are the guys who never took business lessons. These are mathematicians, computer scientists, biologists, engineers. For these guys, it's very helpful to learn about frameworks because it gives them structure to solve the cases, so they can in a better way structure their cases, have a good entry point, have a good first impression. That's why you should deal with frameworks.There are two videos you must see. The first video is about mastering the personal experience interview, and the second one is about the entry points which match your qualification. So, if you start as an associate or as a business analyst, that you will learn in this video. Like my video, share my video. Thanks for watching.
