Management Consulting Association 4 ! ! Introduction A word from the MCA The Management Consulting Association of the Desautels Faculty of Management is proud to present the first McGill casebook. Using this new reference, we hope McGill students will gain a thorough understanding of the consulting world and get the best advice possible on interview preparation. Throughout the process of creating this book, the MCA has been fortunate enough to work alongside leaders in the consulting world in addition to McGill’s experienced Career Services staff. As such, we've been adamant about tailoring the book to a McGill student’s needs, highlighting key consulting trends in Canada as well as the rest of the world. Furthermore, a collection of sample cases and solving methods have been gathered from consulting firms across Canada to provide students with the best possible interview preparation. We would like to say a special thank you to Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, our main sponsor and contributor. They have most generously provided us with access to their resources and case materials, and have also offered invaluable advice and support throughout the process. Whether you are simply interested in learning about the consulting career, or if you have been preparing for the interview for the past couple of months, this book is for you. Through the combination of theory and practice, we hope to help you excel during this process. Ultimately, we hope this book helps you get into the mindset of a consultant, solving any problem with professionalism and passion. Best regards, The MCA Management Consulting Association 5 ! ! A word from Desautels’ Career Adviser – Julia Riscaldino The MCA and the Soutar Career Centre of the Desautels Faculty of Management have been working closely together to provide McGill students access to resources and professionals in the field of consulting in order to help them successfully prepare for consulting recruitment.

As clients continue to improve and refine their operating models, they seek to push traditional boundaries, using advanced analytics and a deeper understanding of underlying costs and value drivers to move beyond tactical levers toward more innovative sourcing strategies and structural opportunities to improve organizational resilience to volatile external markets. Against this backdrop, leaders of sourcing strategy consulting possess several high-level commonalities.

  • THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION of INDUSTRY How Important Is It? Who Are the Winners? What Must Be Done Now? in Brief
    A European study commissioned by the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and conducted by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF INDUSTRY How important is it? Who are the winners? What must be done now? In brief +1.25 trillion euros SEIZE OPPORTUNITIES! CHANGE STRUCTURES! JOIN FORCES! 2 Roland Berger Strategy Consultants / BDI The digital transformation of industry In brief 1 The digital transformation of industry is creating tremendous opportunities for Europe – and confronting it with huge challenges. The possibilities opened up by connected, more efficient production and new business models are highly promising, yet the risks are equally dramatic. By 2025, Europe could see its manufacturing industry add gross value worth 1.25 trillion euros – or suffer the loss of 605 billion euros in foregone value added. 2 The digital transformation of industry is also driving a radical structural transition in Europe's economies. New data, connectivity, automation and the digital customer interface are challenging existing value chains. Companies must take a long, hard look at their products and skill sets. And they have to improve their digital maturity if they are to recognize new opportunities, develop suitable offerings and get them to market quickly. 3 The digital transformation of industry demands concerted action within Europe. The regulatory framework must be harmonized, with a new weighting given to relevant issues. At the same time, a powerful, no-gaps informa- tion and communications infrastructure is needed if European industry is to remain competitive. As standards are shaping our digital future, companies and governments need to get engaged seriously in their global definition.
