Description

This lab trains you to decompose complex client problems using MECE logic without getting lost in analysis. You will build issue trees for strategy, operations, and go‑to‑market, then test each branch with quick data probes. The material shows how to avoid overlap between branches and how to name buckets so executives instantly understand them. You will use a data triage checklist to decide when to estimate, when to sample, and when to model. Included are spreadsheet templates for sizing markets, calculating unit economics, and testing sensitivities. You will learn to convert findings into a storyline that leads logically to your recommendation. The lab provides a deliverable pack of slide layouts for logic maps, driver trees, and sensitivity charts. You will practice writing an executive‑ready memo that fits on one page and survives tough questioning. A section on pitfalls shows common logical errors and how to fix them with counter‑hypotheses. By completion, you can structure ambiguous problems in minutes and keep teams aligned on the path forward. The assets are reusable and adaptable to any industry where clarity and speed matter. This lab is ideal for consultants who want crisp logic and persuasive outputs without overbuild.
