Positive

A positive insight is one that is not necessarily expected, but discovered along the way. In a typical case interview you can end up with a standard answer, but add on a positive that you discovered whilst coming to that conclusion, like that the company's product is valued much much more by its customers than previously imagined. Making a positive insight assists the interviewer see that not just are you currently trying to answer the issue as best as possible, but you have the capability to see an additional positive while coming to that solution/answer to the problem.

Avoiding a Negative

Another type of insight is that in which you find a not-so-positive answer to a issue, but there's a vibrant side. An example of this includes tell the client that the product is extremely valued, but the customer service needs a lot of work. You have both answered the question with a positive and discovered what is really wrong in the situation. This demonstrates towards the interviewer which you could not find a problem in one area, but were able to locate where the problem actually laid and point it out with out a extremely negative spin on it.

Re-Defining a Problem

A final and overall more positive insight that's possible throughout the case interview and with client relationships in common, will be the issue re-definition. In this case, there is no positive reason for the client to even be in the market which you can see, and you can say that there appears to be no problem using the company's workings or profits, but using the market in common. The whole point of an insight would be to see connections, relationships, problems and solutions that were not apparent in the original question. This thinking outside the box is extremely valued in consulting firms and in case interviews because it can potentially save millions of dollars in the long run if just the right insight is reached.
