Common questions
What are written, presentation and group cases?
Case formats beyond the one-to-one conversation: a written or presentation case you prepare alone, and a group case with other candidates. How they run, how they differ by region, and how to perform.
How do you prepare?
Practice reading a case pack against the clock and building three or four slides that lead with the answer. For group cases, practice helping a group reach a decision without taking over.
What is the most common mistake?
Running out of time before the recommendation, or in a group, either staying silent or dominating the discussion.
