The fastest-growing industrials players are providing solutions, not just products
What do leading companies do differently that drives them to grow faster than competitors?
We know that growth depends on positioning, differentiation, resources, market trends, innovation, and other factors. But what sets the "supergrowers" apart from their peers? We studied a set of 50 companies (the top 10 fastest growers over a two-year period in five industries) to understand what they’ve done differently. While there are competitive dynamics that are unique to each of the industries, we identified four themes that were common across this set of companies.
Read on to learn about the patterns of investment, decision-making, and behavior—combined with industry smarts and executive team determination—that elevates these companies to supergrower status.
Our methodology
We chose to focus on five broad industry categories: consumer products, retail, technology, media and telecommunications, and industrials. This segmentation allowed us to compare like with like as we identified top growers and growth drivers.
