h&z is Hidden Champion 2020 – and triple!

We are especially proud to reach the top position in the category „Transformation“ for the first time! We are also the Hidden Champion in „Purchasing & Procurement“. Our subsidiary rpc is a newcomer and ranks first in the „Retail Performance Management“ segment. This makes h&z one of the secret market leaders in the consulting industry.

The Hidden Champion is awarded by the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Management und Beratung (WGMB) in cooperation with the business magazine Capital. More than 700 executives were surveyed by the Bonn Institute. Only 22 top performers were able to take the lead in 26 disciplines and outperform the big competitors McKinsey, BCG and Bain with their expertise put. We are very proud to receive this award once again. Because we stand for in-depth transformation. What does that mean? We consult with head, heart and hand – and we help people grow. And that is what we are now distinguished for.
