I tend to write long explanations when I want to show my reasoning. If Casey gives me a written-response box, how do I judge whether a concise answer is enough versus adding more detail to show the logic behind the recommendation?
I tend to think of the final recommendation as something that comes at the end of a case. If Casey asks me to recommend an action before I feel like I have seen all the information, how should I answer without sounding overconfident?
Mayank G.CoachGive the best recommendation supported by the information available at that point. A recommendation does not need to pretend uncertainty has disappeared.
For the written summary part of BCG Casey, should I repeat the math I used to reach the answer, or focus on the recommendation and the evidence behind it?
Mayank G.CoachPrioritize the conclusion, the most decision-relevant evidence, and the logic connecting them.
In a practice Casey I realized halfway through that one of my earlier assumptions was probably weak. I was not sure whether changing it would make my answers inconsistent. If you catch a bad assumption later, is it better to correct course or stick with the original logic?
Mayank G.CoachCorrect the assumption when you have a good reason to do so. Consistency is not valuable if it means knowingly continuing with weak logic.
