There is a group training exercise included at the end.

It provides practical examples and a clear framework for understanding the differences, helping consultants avoid common pitfalls. The document includes a comprehensive section on the dos and don'ts of insight generation, offering valuable guidelines for effective analysis.

The group training exercise at the end of the presentation is designed to reinforce the concepts covered.
