on the job frameworks

Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V

Victor Cheng's frameworks are pretty general. I've also seen the HBS Case Interview guide floating around online, and it's got a good overview of the general business principles. Of course, you could always read Case In Point and tweak the Cosentino's frameworks, as well as the 4Cs etc to suit your tastes.

From what I've read, the idea is to be familiar with the concepts that all of the above touch on, and then, ideally, create custom frameworks for each case. I personally found that reading about the framework can only help you so much, and that actually coming across cases that delve deeply on certain topics (ex: supply chain) are much more helpful in cementing those principles.

the OP asked about ON THE JOB frameworks...

I thought the general principles remain the same, but I could be wrong. If on the job frameworks are indeed significantly different then I'm interested to know about them as well.

Here is the real on the job framework you need.... - Gather Client Information (based on framework that best fits) - Gather benchmark data - Create Report on Gaps - Develop Strategy to meet it (People-Processes-Systems) - Build Detailed Parts of (People-Processes-Systems) - Implement the Parts - Review Results (and identify future changes)

Rinse and repeat, and you only do the parts the client wants. There may be internal firm frameworks for the very first step, hypothesis based problem solving approach or more general ones. It always depends on the situation.
