Bcg platinion case example

Hi everyone,

I've been researching BCG Platinion case interviews and have come across a few generic examples, usually around tech due diligence, ERP migrations, or high-level IT strategy. However, I’m finding it difficult to get a clear picture of what is actually asked during the interviews.

Are there people here who can share more detailed examples or personal experiences? Specifically:

  • What kind of questions are asked?
  • Do the cases involve a lot of calculations or data interpretation, like MBB cases?
  • Are there charts and exhibits to analyze, or is it more qualitative?
  • What level of technical depth is expected?

Any additional clarity or sample case walkthroughs would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hey!

BCG Platinion cases can be a bit different from classic MBB ones. They’re typically more qualitative and focus on tech strategy or architecture choices, like assessing cloud migration feasibility or comparing ERP solutions. You rarely get heavy math, but you might analyze a cost table or compare trade-offs across options. Expect to be asked to structure a tech problem clearly and walk through decision criteria, but not to code or go deep into technical implementation.

You might get a chart or two, but it's more about logic and approach than data crunching. They want to see if you can break down complex tech into business-relevant insights. So more about "how would you assess this system?" than "calculate this ROI."

Happy to share a case example or walk you through one if helpful!

Best,
Alessa :)
