GENERAL: HOW TO ADAPT FRAMEWORKS?

Frameworks are analysis structures that are more common and consultants use them in some cases as a tool. We have studied in previous chapters the most frequent ones.

However, one typical mistake of candidates is to be framework-oriented. Trying to adapt the business problem into a specific framework. This is a big mistake because each problem has different solutions and you need different analysis to approach it.

For example, imagine one day you go to the hospital with a broken finger, and the doctor starts to examine your ears, then your toes, and finally the measure of your body. If you discover this doctor is doing always the same questions and actions, probably you will never return to her/him.

Because s/he is using the same question and same patterns (frameworks) to detect the diseases, without take into account the specific aspect of the patient s/he has in front.

So be framework-oriented, rather than hypothesis-oriented, is penalized during the case. Frameworks have to be adapted to the problem, not the problem to the framework.
