Hidden Champion
One of the few awards that cannot be bought.
Hidden Champion is based on a study. The aim of the study is to use a structured, in-depth survey of executives from large and medium-sized companies to determine which highly specialized but comparatively unknown consulting firms are considered by their clients to have greater expertise in their field than the three major consulting firms McKinsey, BCG and Bain & Company.

A Hidden Champion:
- must, in the opinion of an independent panel of experts, have the fundamental potential to qualify as a hidden champion, as confirmed by a preliminary empirical study.
- must have an unsupported level of awareness, which is a maximum of 15 percent in the top management of large German companies with an annual turnover of over 1 billion euros.
- must be able to name at least 20 contact persons from client companies to our institute within a very short period of time, whom we interview in writing and/or in person about their competencies.
- must work for clients of which at least 50 percent have also worked with one or more of the champions – McKinsey, BCG and Bain; this proportion is measured within the group of contacts named to us and in a reference sample compiled by our institute together with the panel of experts.
- must be rated better by its clients than McKinsey, BCG and Bain in at least one specialist area; the competence assessment is carried out by the contact persons named to us and by the respondents in the reference sample.
