       INTRODUCTION

      The day to day of a Business owner, CEO or Top Manager gets currently really turbulent and stressful. Delivering constantly to stakeholders or achieving a yearly budget is highly complex, especially in times of crisis. You have to regain and repeat success. You have to outperform over and over again.

      In the midst of severe financial pressure and a volatile global economy many companies and managers fail to achieve (high) annual profitable growth.

      They struggle with both strategy decision-making and strategy execution.

      The number of mistakes made and the lack of resources (time and money) allocated to a well-planned and realistic strategy have been one of my essential takeaways on why many enterprises fail.

      In 2005, I was one of the happiest persons in the world when I got the opportunity to work for adidas, the global sporting goods giant and world market leader for football (soccer) products. Working day by day with my favourite sport brand one year before the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany seemed like a dream come true. I experienced working for and with highly competitive professionals that had the goal to exceed customer needs and quality standards. Furthermore, the company and top management achieved sustainable business results with double-digit growth, especially in emerging countries. At the time, I met Carlos Maza, adidas Mexico Marketing Director, who was boosting sales through a well-defined market penetration strategy and marketing-mix. It was then that I profoundly understood how certain companies grow profitably with a sound strategic plan and execution.

      While working as a consultant for PepsiCo, Johnson Controls, Campbell's Soup and several German companies later in my career it was amazing to see how certain decision makers drove and led the growth path of their companies. As always, one learns from the good role models.

      In my 20 years of market experience I have seen clear patterns, notably of German but also of other international midsized companies, that succeeded on a global scale improving their financial indicators year by year.

      This book aims to help CEOs, Directors and Entrepreneurs to focus on certain concepts that will definitely enhance the financial results of your business achieving both solid top- and bottom-line growth.

      Therefore, we designed at TMH Consulting a unique 7-step methodology that surely is going to improve your business results:
