Leadership and strategy “Walk me through the most complex engagement you have led end‑to‑end. What made it complex, and what was your role at each stage?” “Describe a time you had to reset a failing project or turnaround a dissatisfied client.” “How do you set a three‑year vision for your team or portfolio, and how do you measure progress against it?” People and culture “Tell me about a difficult people-management situation you handled with a senior team member.” “How do you build and maintain a high‑performing team in a hybrid or cross‑country setup?” “Describe a time you challenged the status quo to improve how your practice worked.” Commercial and client focus “Give an example of how you opened, shaped, and closed a significant piece of new business.” “How do you balance delivery quality, margin, and client satisfaction when they are in tension?” “What is your approach to growing a key account over several years?” Case / scenario style “A strategic client wants to cut costs by 20% without impacting growth. How would you structure your approach?” “You inherit a multi‑million euro program that is off‑track and over budget. What are your first 90 days?”
