generic positionings in Europe(simplified explanation of perceptional maps)
Leader segment(to 25-30% share)
challenger 1 segment(to 15-20% share)
challenger2 segment(to 10-15% share)
up-marketniches (low shares only)
must-have image elements
Note: in most European “staffing” markets differentiation is much lower than in many other industries,Many competitors basically have the same image. This leads to sub-optimal margins due to lack of relative USP’sIn most other industries, segments overlap much less. In general, territories with clearer segments show higher gross margins.

the opportunity
only Randstad and (maybe) two major competitors have a good shot at developing a global megabrand in hr services
unlike other industries (FMCG, Cars, Banks, Insurance…) the knowledge of how to do it is NOT commonly available
we can be the leading global brand in people’s minds
