Hi there,

Dalberg cases are very specific and often related to the public sector and non-profits.

Most cases are about:

  • Improving a process (eg How would you improve [PROCESS] in [CITY/COUNTRY]?)
  • Making a decision between multiple options (eg How would you understand which [CITY/COUNTRY] is ideal to launch [NGO PROGRAM])
  • Estimation / Market sizing (eg How many [NGO METRIC] are there in [CITY/COUNTRY]?)

I helped a few candidates to prepare for it and know 15+ real questions they asked, please feel free to PM me if you need help.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

I recommend you follow all the advice relating to casing that is out there - if you can do a case for MBB, you can do a case for Dalberg. This entire site and many others are dedicated to this very question - i recommend you buy case books, search Q&A, pratice with other PrepLoungers to answer your massively broad first question.

In regards to Dalberg, as you're learning how to nail cases, make sure you focus on cases relating to what Dalberg actually does, key words including:

  • Development
  • Africa
  • Emerging markets
  • NGOs
  • Nonprofits
  • Government
  • PE

You should be VERY familiar with the challenges posed by the African and S American economic, political, and social landscape when it comes to completely ANY case type. I have a few cases I could give you if you're interested.
