1.Start with the questions and decide on the generic field of the case (fin/mkt/strat)2.Don’t overuse SWAT, leave it as a last resort3.Develop a model of your own:

– Pyramid OR Timeline OR Segmentation4.A case is bound to many problems

– Find the core/overarching problem– Have your solution surrounding the main

problem– Tell a coherent solution story
