About this episode
This podcast introduces the new and comprehensive consulting business case + financial analyses + financial modelling training we are about to release. In particular I discuss my internal consulting training and my very first study leading the business case. Contrary to what you may think, the training at McKinsey and BCG can be weak and contain many flaws. This podcast explains how we built on the training at these firms to develop something far more effective.
