Hi,

Here are some tips for the group exercise:

You will be in a group of 6-10 other candidates
You'll have a case (general business problem though with various aspects to look at, i.e. marketing, supply chain, finance)
The main goal is to discuss the case together and come to a collaborative solution

My advice for the assessment center:

Don't take a leadership role trying to organize and manage other people unless you are a 100% natural leader
Act rather like a contributor with: a) frameworks to structure the problem b) rough calculations c) Industry / functional knowledge (it helps to be a background in marketing or supply chain) d) creative ideas
Be nice and friendly with everyone and don't try to show that you are better than others. Rather impress with contribution and impact

Good luck!
