The McKinsey Digital Assessment is composed of dynamic games designed to test critical consulting skills. For beginners, understanding these games—such as Ecosystem Building, Ocean Cleanup, and Red Rock Study—is essential to performing well.
In Ecosystem Building, you create a balanced ecosystem by aligning species with terrain conditions and ensuring a continuous food chain. Red Rock Study challenges you to analyze data and present actionable insights under time constraints. Meanwhile, Ocean Cleanup requires strategic allocation of resources to manage ecosystems across two ocean sections.
Success in these games depends on analytical thinking, decision-making, and situational awareness. Start by familiarizing yourself with the game objectives and practicing similar scenarios. Use tools like spreadsheets to organize information and allocate time wisely to complete tasks efficiently. By understanding the structure and purpose of these games, beginners can confidently navigate the McKinsey Digital Assessment and showcase their consulting potential.
