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.
It also includes a chart or table to read: first say what the axes show, then give the main message in one sentence before going into detail.
