Group Exercise and Presentation Case in Consulting

Hi, 

Here are some tips for the group exercise:

• You will be in a group of 6-10 other candidates
• You'll have a case (general business problem though with various aspects to look at, i.e. marketing, supply chain, finance)
• The main goal is to discuss the case together and come to a collaborative solution

My advice for the assessment center:

• Don't take a leadership role trying to organize and manage other people unless you are a 100% natural leader
• Act rather like a contributor with: a) frameworks to structure the problem b) rough calculations c) Industry / functional knowledge (it helps to be a background in marketing or supply chain) d) creative ideas
• Be nice and friendly with everyone and don't try to show that you are better than others. Rather impress with contribution and impact

Good luck!
