The brief

A client’s leadership team wants a digital transformation plan but is divided on where to start and how fast to move.

How to approach it

  1. Problem definition
  2. Assumption handling
  3. Sequenced transformation roadmap

What a strong answer does

  • Clarify the issue, surface assumptions, and recommend a practical sequence of moves.
  • A strong answer should show calm problem decomposition and a staged implementation view.

Practice drills

  • Start by clarifying the real problem, not the buzzword.
  • Say your assumptions out loud.
  • Recommend next steps and the expected impact.
