EPUNTO Interim Management is sponsoring the BUSINESS FILM FORUM organised by the Association for Management Progress, which will take place on 30 March from 5.30 pm to 9.00 pm at the Cinesa Cinemas in the Intu Asturias Shopping Centre. Are you coming?

The Founder of John Lee Hancock: In the 1950s, Ray Kroc, a blender salesman, was travelling across the United States when a large order took him to Southern California. The buyers were the McDonald brothers, who ran an innovative hamburger restaurant that was a huge hit with the public. Their secret? Offering a limited menu of burgers, chips, soft drinks and milkshakes in record time: 15 seconds. Kroc was impressed and saw huge business potential, but the McDonald brothers weren’t interested in opening new outlets. It was then that Kroc bought the exclusive rights to sell the McDonald’s method and, through a combination of ambition, perseverance and ruthlessness, managed to build the multi-million-dollar empire it is today. The speed of food preparation. That was the distinguishing factor that made McDonald’s stand out from its competitors.

In the age of digital transformation, where new companies are emerging with different ways of working, APD and EPUNTO Interim Management are organising this BUSINESS FILM FORUM. In the discussion following the film screening, we will reflect on the origins of a major multinational and the factors that set successful companies apart.

5.30 pm: Reception for attendees (please be punctual)
