You are currently posting as Senior Associate, Strategy 1

I was serious, too. The burger chain is waiting for your input.

You are currently posting as Accenture 1

What city are you in?

You are currently posting as Accenture 2

Has the burger chain done any analysis on their own? What do they think is the problem? Any market, consumer, research? We're there changes to their location? etc...

You are currently posting as Senior Associate, Strategy 1

No they haven't done any analysis.

You are currently posting as Accenture 2

Then analyzing the current state is your first step.

You are currently posting as Senior Associate, Strategy 1

...How would you approach this analysis?

You are currently posting as PwC 1

Since profit is comprised of costs and revenues, I would first ask you which of those have changed (or do the analysis myself). If it's a cost problem, I would see if there's a particular cost driver that's significantly increasing cost and go from there. If it's a revenue problem, I would ask if our prices have changed or if we are selling less units and then go from there. If you wouldn't tell me either and I had to choose, I would probably say both. A revenue problem due to either 1) competitors who are beating you on price (since it is unlikely that a burger chain uses a differentiation strategy) and/or 2) shifting demographic trends and attitudes towards healthier alternatives. And a cost problem due to the rising cost of beef, particularly grass-fed etc. beef (again, from social pressures). After I am told I have the problem right (or am told what it is) I could craft a solution. Is that an ok approach?

Meanwhile in local TV News: Sinclair broadcast group is peddling interviews from the Plandemic team to discredit Fauci. Sinclair operates local affiliate cross sections of all usual channels (Fox, CBS, NBC, etc), but use it as a conservative platform. Here’s what’s running on Fauci. I also recommend watching the Oliver clip in Sinclair.
Fauci: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/25/sinclair-tv-stations-fauci-plandemic-conspiracy-theory?CMP=oth_b-aplnews_d-1

Mckinsey Fishes: for the PEI portion of the interview, specifically for leadership dimension, what are your perspectives of having the story with multiple steps vs focusing on one instance of challenge instead? If my story is about an experience to lead a team to plan a conference, should I focus on one obstacle (ie venue changes) or the entire scope of the project (delegation of work, plus a couple of complications) even if some action steps are not obstacles

Okay so posting this incident of my friend....

He is a software engineer with a leading Investment bank in Bengaluru with almost 6 yoe and having a decent package of 35 lpa. His parents were looking for a matching bride through a matrimonial site and found a match.

The girl as well as her father told the boy that the girl is earning more than 40 lpa with 3 yoe and he is not a match for them. Neverthless, interesting move was that the Manager of the girl was a close friend of boy ..
