The MECE principle (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) is the most famous principle in management consulting.
It is used every single day by McKinsey, BCG and Bain consultants to structure their client's problems just like you see in case interviews.
When I was preparing for my case interviews I was constantly afraid I was not being MECE when solving my cases. Everyone told me that I should be MECE: Victor Cheng, Case in Point, and all the other "experts".
But one thing they did not tell me was HOW to be MECE.
In this video, I'm sharing with you The 5th Way To Be MECE: Opposite Words. This is the simplest way to be MECE: you divide a problem into one characteristic and its exact opposite.
This video is a follow-on from another video, The 5 Ways To Be MECE, which are 5 practical techniques you can use to create your own customized frameworks.
Opposite Words are always aplicable to divide any type of problem. They're always MECE and the can the used as quickly as you can speak them. Sounds perfect, right?
Well, not so much. While they're amazing, they're often the least insightful way to structure a problem.
But even then, consultants from McKinsey, Bain and BCG use Opposite Words as a way to create Mutually Exclusive and Collectivelly Exhaustive frameworks for their client's problems every day.
So, should you use opposite words or not?
Through the video I'll show when you should and when you should not use opposite words to structure your problems.
Basically, there are 3 situations in which you should use this technique: to separate inherently different problems, to add depth to your structures and to quickly make your communication more structured, even in trivial matters.
