Sample Answer
For a recent mid-sized client (~1,200 employees, multiple legacy ERPs), I started with a rapid diagnostic: stakeholder interviews across functions, process mapping for 4–5 critical value streams, and a quick tech and data assessment. We quantified pain points in business terms: for example, order-to-cash taking 32 days vs. a 20‑day target and 3.5% revenue leakage from billing errors. From there, I built a value vs. effort matrix and prioritized initiatives by financial impact, risk, and dependency. We grouped work into three waves: stabilize (data quality, process standardization), digitize (workflow tools, ERP consolidation), then optimize (analytics, automation). Each initiative had 3–5 KPIs tied directly to strategy: margin, cycle time, NPS, and compliance metrics. I aligned with the exec team in a half‑day session to explicitly map each roadmap item to their three strategic pillars. Governance-wise, we used a quarterly planning cadence, benefit tracking by finance, and a simple red/amber/green dashboard visible to all VPs.

In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
Based on your hydrology and irrigation engineering background, explain how you would estimate the irrigation water requirement for a kharif crop in a semi-arid region of Gujarat. Walk me through each step: from reference evapotranspiration estimation, crop coefficient selection, effective rainfall calculation, to arriving at canal discharge for a given command area.
