A client wants to cut costs without weakening service. How would you frame the problem?
I would clarify what service quality means to the client and which costs are increasing. Then I would separate avoidable rework from activities customers value. I would compare options on savings, customer impact and implementation effort, starting with a small test where the service risk is limited.

Case and scenario preparation
Deloitte publishes guidance on analysing case and scenario questions. These formats depend on the role; the guidance is a preparation resource rather than a promise that every applicant receives a case interview.
- Clarify the objective before doing calculations.
- Explain the logic behind your analysis.
- Close with a recommendation and the next fact you would validate.
