Value. It’s the beating heart of the work your consulting firm produces for your clients, and it’s the reason you win consulting projects.

My friend Bob is struggling to get a lean transformation started at his new company. He’s knowledgeable and experienced, but he’s been unable to get traction at the main plant. He’s tried everything—teaching intro classes to lean principles, taking people on waste walks, putting them in Ohno Circles, leading 5S events, practicing Toyota Kata—nothing has worked.

Question: Here's wishing you a very Happy New Year! I have purchased the LOMS program, and I must thank you, for the videos have been immensely useful. I had a query and needed your help on that. I have been practising case interviews for over two months now, however, I always get a little tense when I am doing the cases. I actually made it to the final round with a top consulting firm but was told that I came across as a little nervous and was rejected.

Richard Boyatzis, professor at Case Western Reserve University, says that every professional can benefit from having a coach — and serving as one for someone else.

The best coaches encourage a positive mindset and ask probing questions to help people make the best choices, not only in their careers but also in their personal lives.

Success Story: Hi Victor, Thank you for your generosity on offering case interview videos for free, I recently got an offer from a boutique strategy firm after sitting through 6 rounds of case interviews , and I probably couldn't have done it without your help. The key insights I got are actually not ways to break down a case (I can learn that through another book as well), but the way you presented yourself while answering case questions as well as the attitude you carried while you encounter

When you start a new project, you don’t yet know everything about the client’s business and current situation. You are flying blind. Don’t be afraid to admit that. Embrace Shoshin (beginner’s mind) [link]. An attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying a subject, even when studying at an advanced level. When you start a project, admit that you are currently ignorant about the client’s business and that you would love to learn more.

Question: I am a new visitor at your blog and I find the feedback you provide in specific questions extremely helpful. One issue that I would like your opinion on is to what extent humor can be a plus in an interview and where you would put the limit. I read in various sources that a touch of humor could help you in building a link with the interviewer, but in my opinion, it carries a lot of risk too.

Tactics are great. Execution is essential. But a smart strategy is like having the wind at your back. It makes everything easier. Once we dig in on our tactics and invest in execution, it gets emotionally difficult to walk away even (especially) if our strategy is working against us. Nearly every time I’ve changed my strategy, I’ve regretted how long it took me to realize that it was time to do so.

Question: I am starting case practices with a group of people this week. During the case practices, one thing I will suggest is to practice selecting the key elements relevant to the problem instead of going through everything in the framework, which clearly shows the interviewer that the interviewee has only memorized the frameworks to attach a problem.

Question: First things first, thank you for your material! Today I feel much more confidence in solving cases than 2 months ago. No doubt this happened 90% because of your resources.

In case interviews , some candidates always seem to get "stuck" in a case -- unsure how to proceed. Other candidates " ace the case " and never seem to get stuck at all. Why does this happen? The short answer is this: You only get stuck in a case if you skip steps. If you never skip steps, you never get stuck!
