When was the last time you found an unusual/unconventional solution to a problem?

That’s the question to test your creativity and ability to innovate – a some version of that question can be a part of McKinsey Entrepreneurial Drive Dimension.
It’s good to give a work example here and highlight the following:
- Before you came things were always done in this old conventional way – then you saw it and you came up with a better idea how to do it
- You then executed on it even though nobody asked you to (it was your own initiative)
- People recognised the value of your solution and found it helpful
Best,
Daniel

Hello!
On top of the insights already shared in the post, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)
It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.
Feel free to PM me for disccount codes, since we still have some left from the launch!

I was confused by how the media presents gen z as a sustainable consumer yet I observed my friends love for fast fashion. This contradiction inspired me to do my own survey. I surveyed 100 students in my college about their consumption habits, purchase drivers and sentiment towards different sustainable retail strategies.

The last time I found an unusual solution to a problem was during a business trip to Lubiana, Slovenia. We could not fly directly so we flew to Triste Italy and there we were supposed to have a booked transfer to Lubiana, but due to strikes, it was cancelled. So to avoid missing the meeting I contacted an old friend of mine whose family is from Trieste and I asked If they had a car to be borrowed. And it worked!

I got into the consulting club at a top MBA program without being an MBA student. I asked an MBA student friend to register for me.

As a technical team leader working with various technologies, always I face challenges in my environment, especially with the high load of advanced projects and different changes that had been done during the release management.
