Special Guest: Hermann Simon: Founder of Simon-Kucher & Partners
The volatility and uncertainty of today’s global business landscape is here to stay. Now more than ever, it’s imperative for business leaders to adopt new strategies that will help them successfully navigate economic turbulence and compete on a global scale.
Fortunately, the formula for achieving lasting success may be hiding in plain sights.
According to world-renowned business consultant and pricing expert Hermann Simon, Ph.D., the answer is as simple as looking to “Hidden Champions,” successful mid-sized companies with annual revenues under $5 billion that have become world market leaders under the radar. Though there are 3,400 Hidden Champions worldwide, a majority are found in Germany.
