Formulating a successful response
When preparing a case analysis report, keep in mind that it is important to communicate
your thought process. The path you travel to arrive at the recommendation is just as
important as the recommendation itself.
Remember to include background data, issues, alternatives, decision criteria, analysis, and
a recommendation. Be clear and concise, and avoid repetitive or vague recommendations
such as “fire the accountant” or “gather more information”.
Make your final endorsements as specific as possible in the time allotted (10 minutes of
presentation). Take into account specific conditions of the situation in the case to ensure
that your recommendations are feasible.
Most of the time there is not only one correct answer to a case. Encounter different but
equally valid solutions to the same case. Successful case resolutions demonstrate your
ability to
- define issues,
- apply relevant concepts and techniques to analyze issues,
- analyze the situation from different perspectives,
- identify more than one feasible course of action, supported by analysis, and
- objectively evaluate the alternatives to make specific recommendations.
On these six technical competencies your contribution will be marked.
