Hi everyone!

I'm preparing for an interview with BCG platinion. Most of the cases I can find online are business strategy oriented. I'm looking for some cases that analyze from a technology standpoint. Any recommendations are appropriated.

Hi Kai,

I completely agree that it's quite tough to find adequate tech-focused cases.

That's why I created 2 :)

https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/interviewer-led-mckinsey-style/advanced/mckinsey-digital-bcg-platinion-oil-gas-upstream-technology-196

https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/candidate-led-usual-style/intermediate/yodaphone-195

Both of these are based on real-life cases and have a tech-focus.

Please feel free to reach out if you would:

a) Like to be cased in the two above (hint: They don't cover all aspects of those projects...i.e. the cases could take multiple twists and turns and test additional themes when I conduct them)

b) Like additional tech cases

I also did recruit successfully for PwC Tech practice, worked closely with BCG Platinion and Tech-based projects during my time at BCG, and have helped numerous candidates prepare for Tech/IT-based interviews leveraging my tech background sp happy to support however needed!

Hello!

Even for BCG platinion, I would recommend you to do almost all your prep with the business strategy cases, since these for sure are going to appear in the interviews and you have to have a good performance with them.

Furthermore, the more tech-oriented cases are no different: once you know how to solve the "classical" ones, you have the toolkit for the more specialized ones.

The classics are:

1. Profitability cases- basic profitability framework.

2. Idea generation cases: for any specif issue

3. Growth cases: market penetration, new product launch, product mix change, etc.

4. Pricing cases

5. M&A cases

6. Valuation cases

7. Value chain cases

Given you are under this much time contraint, consider working with a coach to foster speed and ensure you have a tailored plan to be very targeted. PM me interested!

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
