Succeed at management consulting interviews by building the right skills
Learn how to think, act and communicate like a management consultant
What we do and why
A lot of candidates see management consulting interviews as a test that they can “crack” if they follow certain playbooks with steps and recipes that tell them which questions to ask, which buckets to choose and so on. Unfortunately, we see this approach failing a lot of smart and talented candidates, when they find themselves in interview situations that were not part of the playbooks.
Instead, we focus on building underlying skills and competences that are needed to be a good management consultant, which would naturally translate into positive outcomes in interviews. It might seem like a tougher path, but the one we truly believe in and we want to help those ready to choose this path.
Our offering
-
Course: "Problem Solving method"
We suggest that you start here. Problem Solving is the most important and foundational skill of a management consultant and it is tested in case interviews. In this course, you will get a grasp on the key elements of problem solving and get examples of how to apply them in the case interview context.
-
Problem Solving coaching
If you would like additional support once you start practicing the Problem Solving method, we are here to help. A good way of using a coaching session is to work through specific cases or problem types that you encountered when practicing on your own and found most challenging. Alternatively, you can describe an issue to us and we prepare fitting exercises.
-
Building other competences
When you feel that your Problem Solving muscle is strong, you might need support in building other skills that would make you a good management consultant, such as your leadership skills or top-down communication. We can support you in identifying what you need to work on and what kind of behaviors you need to practice.
-
Testing skills in an interview simulation
Perhaps you prepared using our approach, perhaps not. Often candidates want this last confidence boost, advice on finishing touches for their performance or just want to know how a real interview will feel. You can try yourself in an immersive interview simulation with a former partner and get concrete improvement suggestions.
