Ejemplos de campeones ocultos

Sensata Technologies is a leading supplier of sensors and controls. Few people know about this major company, even though its products impact the automotive, appliance, aircraft, industrial, military, heavy vehicle, heating, air conditioning, data, telecommunications, recreational vehicle, and marine industries. In a decade, it has become a billion dollar company with a strong niche.

Kohler is another example of a hidden champion. The company is a mid-sized company expanding globally. But its focus remains not on being a meandering conglomerate, but a faucet manufacturer focused on consumers first and their desires for attractive and functional faucets. Unlike competitors focused predominately on market share and price competitiveness, Kohler focuses on the consumer (her appetite for design, technology and service) and is noted for its excellence as a result. Many consumers may not even know about Kohler, but plumbers as primary purchasers do because Kohler fulfills their needs.

Why the Hidden Champion Strategy works:

• Dificultad para generar reconocimiento de marca en mercados maduros
• Inability of companies to serve every market segment
• Focus on continuous innovation, best service, and customer value, instead of market share and influence
• La alta dirección permanece en contacto directo con los clientes.
• Potencial para deleitar al cliente y estar más cerca del cliente que los megacompetidores.
