Better Growth Forum

About the event

Across industries, competitive intensity is rising as new business models and unconventional players redefine value creation. Established businesses are increasingly contending with alternative “value players” that deliver competitive outcomes through cost-efficient and differentiated approaches. This shift is placing sustained pressure on margins for established players, hindering growth and weakening competitive advantages.

Join us at the Westcliff Four Seasons Hotel in Johannesburg for the fourth installment of the Simon-Kucher Better Growth Forum on May 21, 2026, where we will explore how to drive better growth in an increasingly competitive market.
 
At this year’s forum, Simon-Kucher, a globally recognised pricing and growth specialist, will host a series of engaging sessions focused on how organisations can unlock sustainable growth in this evolving environment, equipping leaders with the strategies and capabilities needed to outperform.
 
Through expert insights and peer discussion, we will examine what it takes to build the capabilities required to win — from strategy through to implementation — in today’s competitive environment.

Why attend

In increasingly competitive markets, growth does not happen by chance; it is built deliberately. Join us to gain practical insights, proven commercial strategies, and real-world perspectives on how to create better growth in the face of intensifying competition.

Who should attend

This event is designed for senior business leaders in general management, commercial, strategy, pricing, sales, marketing, and finance roles who are responsible for defending and growing their organisation’s competitive position.

Registration

Participation in the Better Growth Forum is complimentary, but attendance is limited to ensure high-quality discussion. Seats will be confirmed via separate email following registration.
 
We encourage early registration to secure your place at this exclusive gathering of senior commercial leaders.
