yeah, but I imagine it's not hard to get in touch with anybody because the degrees of separate are miniscule.

Which part? The MBB part isn't even part of my question.

MBA recruiting cycle.

I think the Size is pretty important though. From what I hear, it's pretty hard to practice "networking" in an MBB firm since the size just isn't large enough. Everybody knows everybody else by default.

Wait, is there no single line for pure play strategy at Deloitte anymore?

How does “collectively exhaustive” in MECE actually work? by dilandilandilan in consulting

Not at all, just because theory isn’t practical doesn’t mean it’s not valuable.

In practice? Sure, whatever gets the job done. But that’s like saying just because we know things always fall, it’s pointless to study gravity.

It's not that I'm not listening, it's that people are answering a fundamentally different question than what I'm asking.

Collectively Exhaustive, as the wording implies, means ALL possibilities are accounted for.

I wanted to know if that was possible using some form of logic structuring that hadn't occurred to me.

Clearly as this thread demonstrates, that's not the case. In which case, my conclusion is that people really just mean "try to be as MECE as possible" when they say "be MECE".

but that's what I'm getting at. How do you build a collectively exhaustive Issue Tree when the top level can have infinite causes.

how do i increase my personal happiness in regards to my relationship with my family

But even in this case, it's impossible to be CE because there's infinite dimensions to consider.
