Hello,
I was wondering how people went about creating their own cases for use in practice? What are some things to be considered when making them? Or, are there pre-made cases that you can use?
I only have pre-made questions that come from Case in Point and some case booklets from colleges, but they're pretty lacking beyond the initial situation.
If these are all I have to use, what are some things I should think about when creating a good case?
Thanks

There are several decent case books on the market. Case-in-point (mediocre all around), Case Interview Secrets (best methodology by far), and Crack the Case (very solid cases, absolutely terrible methods/frameworks) come to mind. The best cases though will generally be found in MBA case books. Use your network or Google to find them.

If you have consulting contacts, you could ask them to mock-interview you with something they worked on.
1. It's fairly easy for consultants to do, especially if it's based on recent work.
2. You also get the feel of how each company does case interviews, since they would have gone through them when they were hired. i.e., McK is different from Bain is different from BCG.
