THE HEDGEHOG CONCEPT
WHY A HEDGEHOG? “Hedgehogs… simplify a complex world
into a single organizing idea, a basic principle or concept that unifies and guides everything. It doesn't matter how complex the world, a hedgehog reduces all challenges and dilemmas to simple - indeed almost simplistic - hedgehog ideas. For a hedgehog, anything that does not somehow relate to the hedgehog idea holds no relevance.” –from Good to Great by Jim Collins
