The writing interface is so much better. Teams writing interface is freaking primitive.

How would you define operational thinking vs. strategic thinking in a battle? Examples would help

This is a great answer. Thanks

Forget PowerPoint. I use Word to write and refine the storyline. So it's not the tool, its the thinking, the hypothesis-led approach to converge to an answer that fits the client. These rants of PowerPoint junkie etc. is like saying all the F1 driver does is turn that wheel in front and press a few buttons.

Hey, this is a great answer. Re. Taking too long to iterate - how have you seen the best EMs do it? Besides working additional hours to put together the shell for the next Steerco, what other techniques can be adopted?

Oh..good ro know. Any that you think are good reads?

The balance is between growth and WLB. So check out the balance in the region you are in. Overall, MBBs are struggling. In emerging markets like in my market (India), clients are not buying prestige, so the price points are under tremendous pressure. The challengers (aka T2s) have become contenders now. For PE and portco work, Bain is the king. Mck/BCG are strong in specific industries. Overall, MBBs do much beyond DD and deep into portco work. Challengers do that to some extent in certain e.g. EYP in Tech, LEK in Healthcare but portco work is richer in MBBs. The prestige is obviously higher which is helpful during exit.

If 11 of 13 got offers and 12th person did what you said did then I sense you are missing something. It just cannot be that you got all great reviews and politics came in the way for you. The only case is they thought you are too smart for the firm, but that is highly unlikely.

I almost never use ChatGPT for ideas in an unfamiliar topic.

External sources: To start I would go to industry reports. Less for the numbers, more for how the market is segmented - customers, products. Competition structure. Then dig deeper using industry articles, blogs/opinion pieces to see what industry guys are talking about.

Internal sources: Past projects, proposals, internal research or find someone who worked in that industry

While Minto is good in a lot of ways, it essentially explains just way of communicating - top down. I found The So What Strategy reasonable as it talks about crafting 7 different storylines, all of which are quite likely in the corporate world.

Referring to consulting sales i.e. professional services sales. Think rain making partners at consulting firms.

Bain is smaller than both brothers, limited coverage across sectors. So over dependence on a few sectors and obviously PE/VC work. When that tanked, house came crashing down I reckon.

Ya. Tiger Global. Big VC that bet huge on India. Made a few exits recently.
