Hi all,
I have two cases coming up (Deloitte Digital and BCG Digital Ventures), both will have a case or discussing through a client problem related to digital transformation (likely around digital in FS).
Is there a specific framework or guideline I should follow for answering this?
Thanks
Hi,
Since there may be many kinds of digital transformation cases, I recommend searching the websites of Delloite, BCG, McKinsey for the articles on the most popular digital topics. These articles have some great frameworks that you can use.
Here is a list of potential topics you need to know. It is a full list and looks scary but they test a lot of these concepts depending on the particular role:
There will be also a mix of regular and IT cases. For the regular cases on preplounge will be most helpful.
Good luck!
Hi there,
There isn't one right framework for digital transormation! Think about it, the question could be "our digital transformation has fallen behind. How do we fix it?" or, it could be "x company in y industry is looking to embark on a digital transformation. How do we set it up" or "As part of their digital transformation, x company in y industry is looking to employ data analytics/AI. What do we prioritize and how?" etc .etc .
All of these have different frameworks/approaches!
Now, 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 (some public, some private) and a lot of preparation material around this. Feel free to reach out for support (I'm helped countless candidate in this area), and, regardless, have a look at my public content here:

Hi there,
When you apply to a digital generalist position (not specialist) on a consulting firm that has case interview, you will face just a case as any other but around different digital themes (tech, cloud, digital growth / marketing, etc.).
As any other case, generic frameworks doesn't work here and you should develop your critical thinking to come up with the framing. Being familiar with the theme definitely helps so make sure to read some digital industry articles.
Best,
Alberto
