This podcast explains what is a conceptual thinker and how to demonstrate this skill.

If you work at any major consulting firm, and especially if you want to be promoted, you must prove you are a conceptual thinker. The only problem is that it is hard to define the word conceptual.

Once you understand this definition, things will be much easier for you.

In this podcast I explain a similar problem experienced by a consultant on the Corporate Strategy & Transformation study and how I helped them improve. The definition also explains why conceptual thinker is a functional specialist (in strategy, operations, corporate finance etc.) and almost never specialist in sectors.

If you enjoyed this conversation we will be so grateful if you jump over to iTunes and share a quick review. It helps more people find us.
