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?
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.
I tend to take a lot of notes during Casey because I am afraid I will need a number later. The problem is that my page gets messy and I lose time copying information. Is there a better rule for deciding what is worth writing down?
