Hello community
I will have an interview at Accenture in Zurich, which will be like an assessment day. We will be about 6 candidates and there is a team case involved. How is this case structured, which role should I take in this case solution within the team and what is the best approach to prepare for it?
Thank you very much for your help
Hi there,
A typical structure for group interviews is the following:
Compared to a one-to-one interview, in a group interview:
For practice, if you expect a structure based on handouts you can work on written cases. You can find more on that at the link below:

Hi Ali,
Get to know your social style- https://tracom.com/social-style-training/model.
Dont jump to being a driver/leader straight away if you are not nautrally like that. Better understand the case, observe the group dynamics and play your part- aligning the group, provding stucture, providing examples/experiences etc etc. Communicate well, clearly.
Shoot me a direct message if you want more help. Please also search the Q&A forum as this question has been answered before.
All the best!
Hello there!
Show how YOU work in a team. It's very important that you will not try to be somebody who you are not. The balance here is very important - you need to show that you can easily communicate with people and work effectively at the same time.
Adi also gave a helpful tip to learn your personality type, use it!
For any other questions - so not hesitate to write to me!

Hi Ali,
My general tips are as follows:
1) Be noticed but don't hog - you need to make sure to speak, but you also can't dominate the entire discussion
2) Add value - When you speak, make sure it's adding to the discussion. I.e. additional insight, ways to evaluate the decision, etc. etc.
3) Demonstrate teamwork - They're not looking for you to be THE leader. They're looking to see how well you work in a group. This is give and take
4) Demonstrate everything else that's needed in a "regular" case - structured thinking, problem-solving, clear communication, etc.etc.
Hope this helps and good luck!
Hello!
I haven´t seen this approaches in a very long time, and less for consulting.
To add on top of the very valuable advises given here beofre, it´s key that you demostrate a good balance between team building/team spirit and results oriented actions
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
