Case Study Method
The Case Study Method puts a real or realistic scenario in front of a group and asks them to analyse it, identify the core issues, and decide what they would do. Participants read a written case (or hear it presented), work through it in small groups, then come together to debate their conclusions. The group builds understanding by arguing through the problem together.
