🚀 Casing 101 — Episode 4: Market Entry Framework

After mastering profitability, the next big question consultants often face is:

Should we enter this market, and if so, how?

Market entry cases test your ability to balance strategy, realism, and numbers. It’s not just about spotting a big market, it’s about assessing whether the opportunity is attractive, whether the company can actually win, and whether the economics make sense.

In this episode, we break down the Market Entry Framework:

• The three core pillars: Market Attractiveness, Company Capabilities, and Economics
• How to pressure-test each pillar using practical spectrums
• A real-style case example with a clear recommendation

Why it matters:
Market entry cases appear frequently at MBB and Big 4, and strong candidates show structured judgment—not memorised checklists.

Frameworks aren’t about rigid templates. They’re tools to organise thinking, ask sharper questions, and move toward better decisions.

Stay tuned as we continue the Casing 101 series with more essential frameworks and case examples.

🚀 The CCN Brief — Issue 5: Value Chain Analysis

Where exactly is value created inside a company, and where is it quietly leaking away?

Value Chain Analysis is a core consulting framework used to break a business down into its individual activities, helping teams pinpoint cost drivers, inefficiencies, and sources of true competitive advantage.

After a short winter break, we’re back with the next issue of The CCN Brief. In this fifth issue, we cover:
• What Value Chain Analysis is and why consultants use it
• The difference between primary and support activities
• How to spot margin leakage and prioritise the right fixes
• A detailed example from a UK food manufacturer

Whether you’re preparing for consulting interviews or sharpening your strategic thinking, understanding how value is created across a business is essential—and this framework is foundational.

📅 *Stay tuned: our Spring Cycle consulting applications open in February.*

Follow us for weekly insights into strategy, casing, and real-world consulting fundamentals.
