Hello everyone!

I have my round 2 coming up soon, and I was wondering if anyone has got tips for the type of case/industry that I can expect.

Do the cases get more difficult as you progress?

Hi!

I wouldn't say cases get more difficult. Each case has its own hurdles.

Re. your second round: market sizing, profitability, investment.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Anto

First of all, congratulations on making it to the final round!

Based on the experiences of coachees of mine and my personal network, I agree with what other coaches said about the key function-industry combination of Kearney Dubai:

  • Functions
    • Strategy and Top-Line (i.e. growth strategy)
    • Operations and Performance (i.e. supply chain management)
    • Operations and Performance (i.e. performance improvement)
    • Procurement
  • Industries
    • Energy (i.e. Oil & Gas)

    • Transportation and Travel
