Strategy Consulting Bootcamp: Structure & Solve Any Problem

Assess an island quarantine concept for Z 20, guided by a 96% accurate test and infection data, and evaluate Tri Pharmaceuticals' role in a data-driven recommendation.

Capture the main points from meetings and shape statements into themes that guide your work, then review the first module as needed and compare notes with the sample solution.

Learn to structure complex projects using the scqs tool, organizing notes into situation, complication, target question, and scope to align stakeholders and focus project outcomes.

Demonstrates applying Alvis's bulletproof structure and the five BP's rules to sharpen problem solving in strategy consulting and structure a project approach.

Explore building a driver tree for Z 20 infections by comparing a baseline scenario with quarantine island interventions, outlining level-1 drivers and progressing to level-two hypotheses through targeted research.

Apply insights from Tom's research to refine the driver tree and develop level two drivers, strengthening your approach to structuring and solving strategic problems.

Builds on your driver tree to clarify the target of your analysis and map a rough path, then launches the analysis as you check an email from Julie.

Evaluate the quarantine proposal using Julie's email and the new infections formula. Use the driver tree with infections constant 0.3 and spread coefficient 1.0 to deliver a data-driven recommendation.

Open the last Excel file and navigate to the output sheet. Fill the grey cells, avoid hard coded entries, and compare results to the sample solution.

Explore quarantine sub-scenarios—single testing, increased accuracy, and double testing—and adapt the existing Excel model to compare outcomes, consult Julie for feasibility.

Adopt a top-down approach to creating presentations and craft a stringent, convincing story that flows through the document. Learn how five principles guide the Z20 presentation, as Tom demonstrates.

Clarify your stance on where the senator stands, then transition into content creation mode. Decide which slide you should always create first.

Transform the first slide into a title slide, insert a text slide for the executive summary, and structure its content in four parts: context, questions, answers, next steps.

Frame the context of z 20, a fast spreading disease threatening the U.S., and the quarantine proposal based on a positive z 20 test, for the senator.

Outline the content of the second slide to function as the introduction, clarifying what should be included for a clear, engaging start.

Compare the relevant facts, refine the executive summary, and present the third statement in a takeaway box on the slide with bold keywords, citing the U.S. government as the source.

Analyze two scenarios, single testing and double testing, to guide the new slide layout in the analysis chapter, building on the executive summary to demonstrate structured problem solving.

Create a multi-scenario line chart to compare annual infections across do nothing, single testing, and double testing, with data transfer from Excel to PowerPoint and clear labeling.

Analyze how antidote availability reaches 100 percent by year eleven, and how bubbles, call outs, and a summary box illuminate do nothing versus double testing quarantine scenarios.

Speed up the antidote development by three years, a challenging yet feasible goal, and outline option a with a two-column slide of assumptions and the probabilistic year-by-year availability curve.
