Hi all,
I have an interview at BCG Digital in a couple of weeks. They let me know that I will probably have a digital-specific case. Does anyone know where I can find practice digital cases? They seem pretty sparse from what I've found.
Thank you!

Hi there,
Sharing with you here two that I wrote and which you can find on PrepLounge. Both are based on actual McKinsey interviews that took place in the past few months.

Hi Henk Baarsjes (again),
I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Hi Henk,
Make sure you're ready for a generalist case and a tech/IT case. Also be prepared to be asked quite detailed questions that test your expertise (brainstorming-like questions)
My strong suggestion is to 1) Learn how to framework 2) Learn/read the main digital/IT topics on Dloitte Digital, BCG Platinion, McK Digital etc. websites 3) Tie both #1 and #2 together in digital transformation cases...ideally with the help of a coach.
Now, I know it's hard to get resources on this - there isn't much! That's why I created a number of cases (and a lot of preparation material around this. Feel free to reach out for support (I've helped countless candidates in this area).
Here are 3 tech/IT cases (BCG digital related) I created to help:
Congrats. I know CaseCoach has a few good ones on Digital Transformation but, as you identified, they are less common that other types of cases. You should have access to them as part of your BCG application.
Digital cases, though, are not too dissimilar from other cases where you need to define a business process / understand a new technology, and diagnose if it is worth applying the new technology and where in the business process.
The case To Automate Or Not in the 2018/19 Darden case book is similar to this. If you want to do a digital specific mock do reach out.
