Interactive Case

Welcome! The DC Group Interactive Case is designed to illustrate how we think our way through the challenges our clients present to us. Although this is not a real client assignment, it closely approximates how DC Group approaches strategy consulting.

As in a case interview, you will be asked to develop a recommendation for the client by analyzing the relevant facts and demonstrating your ability to formulate a supportable conclusion.

Although there is no single correct answer, there are a limited number of sound, defensible conclusions. At the end of exercise, you'll receive feedback that illustrates the kind of thinking DC Group interviewers will be looking for. It should take a little less than an hour to work your way through the assignment.

You have been assigned to work on a cost cutting and turn-around strategy case for XYZ Telecom, a struggling African entity. With the stiff competition in the market brought about by the entry of "deep-pocketed" international players, XYZ's top management is worried about the current trend of events.  Your team has been asked to deliver a recommendation quickly:; you have only 12 weeks (or 60 working days) to complete the project. You must use your time wisely if you're to deliver maximum value for XYZ Telecom.
