Any suggestions on how to curate my mindset for the McKinsey interview cases? I am currently at another firm that focuses largely on implementation rather than the strategy work, how to get my mind focused on high level rather than implementing the high-level things?

Push yourself to think of the big picture, even if it seems like you’re answering one little question.
Practice the mindset by thinking about your current client - what impact does the implementation project have on the whole business? How would a delay impact the revenue cycle of the company? Why did they decide to go with the requirements that they did? What would have to change for them to have made a different choice? Etc.
