Hello,

I am currently in an Analytics Consulting role, and my Post-MBA goal is to get into Digital Strategy Consulting.

What gaps / skills need to be filled for someone looking to transition from Analytics Consulting to Digital Strategy Consulting ? Also, what present skills will be relevant and helpful in the transition ?

PS : I am not specifically asking about Digital Marketing, but Digital Strategy Consulting in general.

Thanks for any help on this.

It is not "Gaps" that you should be looking at, but the connecting theme between your WE & your goals.

Hope that helps.

As Balkrishna rightly pointed out, its not gaps but connecting the dots. If you are looking at doing the MBA, then you will study core courses and electives ( around strategy, marketing, finance, consumer behaviour, analytics) that will help make the transition.
Your job would be to tell your story via the goals essay-
1. what have you done so far?
2. what dod you wish to do in the future and why? why is the future goal exciting for you? what impact do you wish to create?
3. how will your past experience combined with what you learn through MBA be relevant for the next role, post MBA.

Hope that helps.
