Kearney case interview practice
Kearney, in the room.

Operations-grounded. Closes every loop with a number — savings, capacity, days, FTE. Less impressed by elegant frameworks than by a clear bridge from current to target with the work itemised.
That is the register the interviewer holds for every case on this page: it asks one question at a time, pushes back when you hand-wave, will not summarise your answer for you, and closes with a partner-style scored evaluation that names the strong signals it heard and the red flags it did not.
What is in the bank

Common questions
- Are these real Kearney cases?
- No. Cases are written in Kearney's style by working consultants; they are not Kearney's own published cases. Where a case adapts a public sample, the case page cites the source.
- Can I practice a Kearney technology case for free?
- Yes. The first case runs free with no signup or card. Paid plans are one-time payments for 30 days of access to the full case bank and scored reports.
- How is a Kearney technology case different from a strategy case?
- Kearney-style tech cases stay operations-led: supply chain, procurement, and cost transformation. The technology answer has to show up as measurable margin, not a slide about digital.
