What You'll Learn
- Why "digital transformation" is a label, not a single case type — and why applying the same fixed issue tree across industries gets candidates in trouble
- A four-layer diagnostic lens (Technology & Systems, Operating Model, Economics & Value Capture, People & Change Risk) that holds constant across every industry
- How the weight of those four layers shifts in banking, retail, manufacturing, and healthcare cases — and the clarifying questions that reveal which layer dominates
- The most common pitfall: building a technically sound migration plan while ignoring the layer the interviewer actually cares about
Lesson Overview
Digital transformation cases don't share one template — they change shape by industry. Learn the four-layer lens that adapts to banking, retail, manufacturing, and healthcare cases alike.
Imagine your interviewer says: "A retailer launching a customer app and a bank migrating its core ledger system are both digital transformation cases on paper. In practice they are close to opposite problems. How do you structure a technology strategy that adapts across different industries without forcing a rigid template?"
Why This Matters for Consulting Interviews
Interviewers test your ability to balance technical feasibility with operational change, financial ROI, and frontline adoption risks.
