Victor Cheng - he has a book and an audio book call look over my shoulder where you can listen to other people case.
Crack the case and case in point are the standard.
I personally like look over my shoulder because you listen to it when you're on the plane

Yes LOMS is very good I think. I didn't like case in point as the frameworks are too rigid. I would take Victor Cheng's framework as a base knowledge, remember the components and important questions to ask or data to collect, but then forget the frameworks and apply your own to each case - unless it's very obvious profitability case no framework is perfect and trust me, we've heard a lot of them!
