    The brief

    Su cliente es un gran grupo de bienes de consumo masivo, posicionado en cosméticos premium (cremas, champús, perfumes), tanto productor como distribuidor. A través de su fondo de inversión, acaba de adquirir una startup titular de patentes sobre la « fragmentación del agua ». Esta tecnología rompe las gotas (grifo, cabezal de ducha) en gotas más finas: proporciona una sensación de alta presión a la vez que reduce el consumo de agua.

    The client's question

    El cliente quiere democratizar esta tecnología al máximo. Le solicita un plan estratégico de crecimiento y de estrategia de salida al mercado para el mercado francés.

    How to approach this case

    In a growth case, start by pinning down the objective: how much, over what horizon, and under which investment constraints. Then separate what the client can get from its current business (volumes, prices, retention) from what needs new ground (customers, products, countries, acquisitions). Put a number on each option, even a rough one, so that you compare orders of magnitude and not ideas. The classic list of growth levers helps you forget nothing, but the interviewer expects you to rule most of them out with an argument and to dig into the two or three that matter for this client.

    This case involves calculations: talk through your arithmetic out loud, round when it is reasonable and state the order of magnitude you expect before the exact result.
