Hello,
I have an upcoming interview with Mckinsey for their Risk & Resilience practice. It will include the standard Problem Solving interview. Although I understand I might get cases of any type / industry, I believe there might be an higher likelihood of receiving cases more oriented to the Risk practice.
- Am I wrong to believe this?
- Does anyone know where I can find such cases?
Many thanks!
You're not wrong to believe this, but if the interviewer has confirmed or proactively mentioned that the cases can be from any industry then that should be the case.
You can use the case library on preplounge and search by key words.
You might also want to brush up on your knowledge of risk as it applies to different industries. You could generate summaries of trends with AI on this to get started.
Feel free to reach out directly if you have any follow up questions.
Best,
Cristian
Hey there :)
You’re right! while you can get any generalist-style case, Risk & Resilience interviews often lean toward operational or risk-related topics, like supply chain disruptions, cybersecurity exposure, or business continuity planning. Still, the underlying structure stays the same: diagnose, quantify impact, and propose mitigation. You can prep with general operations or risk management cases from sources like Wharton or INSEAD consulting club guides, and adapt them with a “risk lens”, what could go wrong, how to measure exposure, and how to reduce it.
best,
Alessa :)
