Digital Champions
Challenges
of Hidden Champions
Let’s be honest: how are things really going for you? Are you satisfied – or is the potential of digitalization still (largely) untapped in your organization?
From working with many Hidden Champions, we know the typical challenges: lack of visibility, shortage of skilled workers, internal friction, slow processes, or outdated technology. Often, it’s similar bottlenecks that hold back growth.
Do these challenges sound familiar? Let’s talk.
Hidden Champions are often market leaders in their niche – but not in the war for talent!
The competition for qualified professionals is fierce. While big brands benefit from name recognition, specialized companies often struggle with low visibility, outdated application processes, or a weak employer brand. This slows growth, innovation – and costs time and money.
Digital Champions combine a strong employer brand with a lean, digital application process – fast, compelling, and mobile-optimized. At the same time, automated processes ensure that fewer staff are needed to achieve more. This way, digitalization becomes a growth driver – not a bottleneck.
Hidden Champions excel with outstanding products and solutions – but that’s no longer enough. Buying decisions are now digital from the start, even in B2B. Prospects research, compare, and expect a professional presence. Companies that aren’t visible or present an outdated image risk losing potential customers before a single conversation begins.
At the same time, the interaction between website, marketing, and CRM systems is becoming increasingly important: only those who know where a lead comes from, what interests them, and how they want to be approached can build lasting trust – and turn visibility into real revenue.
Many Hidden Champions operate globally but communicate locally: in language, tone, and channels. This slows expansion and understanding. What’s needed are multilingual web solutions, international UX, and country-specific lead funnels.
Hidden Champions are often technological leaders – but not always digitally visible. Many systems have evolved over time: CMS, PIM, CRM, HR – all isolated solutions. Interfaces, automation, and a unified data foundation are often missing.
While competitors automate processes, optimize customer experiences, and act in a data-driven way, many companies leave their full potential untapped. The market is changing rapidly, and so is customer behavior: companies that don’t offer digital solutions and modern communication today quickly appear unprofessional – even with world-class products.
At the same time, internal transparency is often lacking: manual processes, isolated systems, and missing interfaces waste time and efficiency. Those who don’t act now risk falling behind – not just technologically, but also in terms of perception.
Many companies work with agencies that manage rather than create. Responses come late, proactive ideas are missing – and the design often feels like a standard solution rather than reflecting the brand. Outdated technology, unclear roadmaps, and project managers who block more than they drive forward slow down not just projects, but the entire digital development.
Hidden Champions, in particular, need partners who think along, provide insights, and act with both technical expertise and strategic understanding – not just service providers, but co-creators on equal footing.
