Heskett’s original article noted that “The case method has become synonymous with education for management. Traditional cases have come under fire for being self-contained documents that describe a protagonist facing a decision with a set of packaged data available on which to base the decision.â€.

Reading yet another fictional case study rather than inspiring your own. I remember the sinking feeling those words triggered. You knew that you had lost their attention and they were resorting to diversionary tactics. So many documents are diversionary. Putting off doing something by writing a templated bit of business fluff. Faffing about with formatting and fonts rather than taking the leap and sharing what you have written.
