BEYOND GREAT contends that “great is no longer good enough” and reveals foundational new rules for going beyond. It highlights the disruptive forces transforming the global economy: rising discontent with capitalism, increased strain on the natural ecosystem, heightened geopolitical conflict, and technological revolution happening at breakneck speed.
“The range of disruptive forces has been profoundly challenging for firms big and small—more so with the onslaught of an enduring global pandemic,” said co-author Nikolaus Lang. “But these forces also create opportunities to build vital new forms of advantage.”

Backed by more than 100 interviews with senior business leaders and dozens of case studies, as well as extensive BCG quantitative data, BEYOND GREAT introduces nine core, highly resilient strategies for 21st century global enterprises that will yield sustained success—today and tomorrow. Collectively, they offer pragmatic, innovative approaches touching on every essential requirement of building a thriving organization in turbulent times.
“On top of the already rapid changes in recent years,” said co-author Jim Hemerling, “the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting macroeconomic shock add another level of stress and challenge to navigating the years ahead.” Added co-author Arindam Bhattacharya: “These strategies are not optional ones to be deferred for when times get better. They are urgent priorities needed to thrive and accelerate today and into the future.”
