Hey, I am invited for a set of interviews including different types of case studies. One is defined as presentation case. Can anyone elaborate, what is expected and crucial to perform well?

Hi Anonymous,
although the kind of interview may be different for different firms, you will be likely required to (i) read some written material, and (ii) after 30-60 minutes present your findings, potentially with slides. This could be done either on your own or with peers. The steps to analyse to perform well would be the following:
Define an action plan and stick to it
Practice graph interpretation
Work on quick reading
Practice math
Learn how to communicate the final results
At the following link you can find a more detailed description of the previous steps:
In this article, we will talk about the PowerPoint and Presentation skills that will help you survive in consulting. If you apply them well enough – you can excel too. You do not need to be an expert in all these skills from day 1 – no one expects you to be a slide-ninja from the start. However, you must make it a point to learn voraciously and pick-up things very quickly. The best consulting firms also have in-house training modules for all these skills, and you can also rely on your more-experienced team-mates for resolving your queries.
