5 Essential Ways to Achieve MECE Thinking
The 5 Ways To Be MECE - correct answer ✔✔(1) Algebra Structures
(2) Process Structures
(3) Conceptual Frameworks
(4) Segmentation
(5) Opposite words
Algebra Structures - correct answer ✔✔(1)Used to work our numerical problems
(2) Used for short term problems
(3) Try to avoid equations that are the breakdown of the metric of the case.
(4) Go a level deeper in your formula
(5) Bring qualitative real life drivers to each bucket
Process Structures - correct answer ✔✔(1) Used when a typical Framework just won't do
(2) It refers to breaking down a problem that has an underlying process into the stages of the process
(3) Only use them when your problem has an underlying process
(4) Prioritize the most important parts of the process by quantifying each
(5) Draw out your process for the interviewer
(6) Once your process has given you a root cause, create a new structure to solve the root cause.
(7) Use for linear problems; not strategic ones
What's a "messy process" - correct answer ✔✔it is one where something is not linear
E.g understanding why the customer satisfaction levels for a Telecommunications company have gone
down. you will look at the journey of a mobile customer ... the problem could be in one of the
interactions
Conceptual Frameworks - correct answer ✔✔(1) Are a bunch of categories of concepts
