Round 2 interview with Kearney Dubai

Hello everyone!

I have my round 2 coming up soon, and I was wondering if anyone has got tips for the type of case/industry that I can expect.

Do the cases get more difficult as you progress?

While you should aim to be as flexible/adaptable as possible (i.e. be ready for anything and everything), we can break down by Kearney and by Dubai.

  • Functions
    • Strategy and Top-Line (i.e. growth strategy)
    • Operations and Performance (i.e. supply chain management)
    • Operations and Performance (i.e. performance improvement)
    • Procurement
  • Industries
    • Energy (i.e. Oil & Gas)
    • Public Sector
    • Transportation and Travel

Hi!

I wouldn't say cases get more difficult. Each case has its own hurdles.

Re. your second round: market sizing, profitability, investment.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Anto
