Hello!
Congrats on moving to the case stage! Hope our earlier feedback was helpful.
Important: Platinion cases are not classic pure-strategy MBB cases. They are typically more focused on:
- IT architecture and system landscapes
- Enterprise transformations (ERP, CRM, cloud, data platforms)
- Technology selection / vendor evaluation
- Implementation roadmaps
- Linking IT decisions to business impact
How to prepare:
1️⃣ Refresh core case skills
- Structured thinking (MECE)
- Clear top-down communication
- Basic math under pressure
2️⃣ Strengthen IT consulting fundamentals
- How to assess legacy architecture
- Cloud migration trade-offs
- Build vs buy decisions
- Enterprise system integration risks
- Governance, rollout planning, stakeholder alignment
3️⃣ Practice explaining technical topics simply
You’ll likely need to translate technical complexity into CEO-ready language.
4️⃣ Prepare senior-level stories
As this is a Senior role, they will test:
- Ownership
- Influencing stakeholders
- Handling ambiguity
- Driving IT decisions
Avoid:
- Going too deep into technical weeds
- Sounding like a system integrator rather than a strategic IT advisor
Bottom line: show that you can combine structured consulting thinking + credible enterprise IT expertise.
As a coach, I’m here to help you — we can run Platinion-style mock cases, sharpen your IT structuring approach, and make sure you perform at a true senior-consultant level in the interview.
