Alright. Your client is a major airline that has seen a significant drop in its customer satisfaction scores, particularly around in-flight service. They want you to identify the root causes and propose solutions to improve these scores within the next six months. You have 30 minutes. How would you approach this?

Understood. My approach would be to first structure the problem to identify potential drivers of dissatisfaction, then gather data to validate those hypotheses, and finally, develop actionable recommendations. I'd begin with key areas of in-flight service like cabin comfort, food and beverage, and crew interaction.
