Practical tips to master any industry

With this product you get a perfect overview of various industries

I used to be in your seats a few years ago, willing to enter the strategy consulting world. And when I was a candidate preparing for the interviews, I understood that the way to solve a case is most often industry specific. A growth business case is not the same for a biotech company versus a bank or a telecom company.

To that end, I have developed with Bilal, a BCG colleague a comprehensive list of zooms for each industry, to shine and go the extra mile during the case cracking part of your interviews.

This guide is a list of deep dives covering most industries and sectors, that we tested and refined on many candidates to help you become more industry specific in your approach to solve any business case.

Master the Ins and Outs of Every Industry to Shine During the Interviews

I used to be in your seats a few years ago, willing to enter the strategy consulting world. And when I was a candidate preparing for the interviews, I understood that the way to solve a case is most often industry-specific. A growth business case is not the same for a biotech company versus a bank, or a telecom company. To that end, mastering the ins and outs of every industry is key to shine during the interviews.

However, I was quite disappointed by the lack of resources available:

  • Scattered data: There is no single source of truth per industry summarizing all the information needed to master a case
  • Low quality of information: Quality of existing data on the internet or in the preparation books are often not sufficient
  • Lack of industry insights: Some key industry insights are not always available e.g. industry key success factors and clients' key purchasing criteria

To that end, I have developed with Bilal, a BCG colleague, a comprehensive list of zooms for each industry, to shine and go the extra mile during the case cracking part of your interviews.

This guide is a list of deep dives covering most industries and sectors, that we tested and refined on many candidates to help you become more industry specific in your approach to solve any business case.

The industry overview is certainly important as it provides users with the latest trends, cost structures etc. It is useful to get a quick understanding of major industries as you prepare for your consulting interview. The guide is certainly useful and worth every penny!

Break Into Consulting-Industry Overviews is a ready-reckoner, a one-stop shop to gain a basic level understanding of industries. It mentions almost all the drivers of revenue, profitability, competition etc of most of the prominent industries including the allied industries. One can , by looking , at these industries create an individual plan for himself/herself for learning more on the drivers through other sources as well. This guide should be revised before attempting any case study or an interviw.
