    The brief

    Il vostro cliente è un grande gruppo di prodotti di largo consumo, posizionato sui cosmetici premium (creme, shampoo, profumi), sia produttore che distributore. Tramite il suo fondo di investimento, ha appena acquisito una start-up detentrice di brevetti sulla « frammentazione dell'acqua ». Questa tecnologia frammenta le goccioline (rubinetto, soffione doccia) in goccioline più fini: dona una sensazione di forte pressione pur riducendo il consumo d'acqua.

    The client's question

    Il cliente vuole democratizzare al massimo questa tecnologia. Vi chiede un piano strategico di crescita e di go-to-market sul mercato francese.

    4 steps to solve this case

    Here are the questions you'll need to answer.

    Solve each step with the AI coach that guides and evaluates you in real time.

    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.
