Upcoming Events
The Western Casewriters Association (WCA) and the Journal of Case Research and Inquiry (JCRI) invite educators, practitioners, and students to submit consulting cases for the 2025 “Making Your Consulting Case” competition. The outstanding consulting cases will be invited for submission to a special issue of JCR with Consulting cases.
THE 4 STEPS OF MYCC
Identify the Challenge
Firstly, we begin by uncovering the specific challenge that the client seeks to address and then we develop a personalized case proposal that establishes a meaningful connection with the client by aligning with their unique needs and your area of expertise.
You will then collect detailed information about the company, market, and industry using our provided templates. This step involves crafting a thorough business analysis. The deeper your understanding of the client will be, the stronger the trust you will build.
Your primary goal is to foster both personal and professional trust. The business analysis serves as a crucial tool in this process. We offer a comprehensive guide and the “D” or “Develop Trust” course, featuring video lectures and templates, to assist you in achieving this.
In “G” or “Generate Value” stage, apply your own expertise to solve the client’s challenge. Unlike BCC course, where directives were provided, you now have the freedom to leverage any skills you possess. We provide additional resources, including a guide (chapters 6-8 of the book) and the “Generate Value” course, which includes video content and templates from Julia Ivy.
Excite the Industry
The final step, “E” – “Exiting the Industry”, involves submitting your case to the annual “Making Your Case Competition” to establish your reputation as an expert.

How do we know it works?
Till date, we have successfully developed consulting cases for over 840 individuals across 23 countries and various companies.
Have all of them secured a job? While some have, others did not but received valuable referrals. A few individuals chose to pursue case consulting as a career path rather than traditional 9-to-5 jobs. Regardless of their outcomes, each participant successfully established themselves as experts and case consultants.
This experience has helped me better understand how all I have to do is thoroughly research the topics that apply to these areas of the business.
