Focus interview is delving into your technical / domain knowledge. They may have some “quiz” types of questions for SAP, or it might be more free form discussion of your experience and knowledge for your area and level. For example as a manager they might ask some project management questions that would not be asked of a SC candidate, but you might not get as many questions about sales as a SM candidate would.

Core Consulting is a more behavioral style interview, looking for evidence of the core consulting attributes they want to see. It typically takes the form of questions like “Tell me about a time you did X.” These are more general consulting attributes like communication skills, problem solving, initiative, work ethic, etc. Principals or Directors typically do the CCA interview.

The format is not strictly enforced other than the case, so either if these could just be partly or wholly a free form discussion depending on who interviews you, but they are supposed to assess the things outlined above.

I'm trying to suss out if a new member of our dept hates me or my team (she manages a different team).

My initial take is she's just hard to read and probably a tightly controlled introvert. My direct report felt she's 'cold as ice,' 'bristling' at our suggestions, and forming a clique that wants to do their own thing with no input from our team. He's triggered very easily, and there was no explicit evidence, just a 'vibe' so I wrote it off. (See 1st comment)
