The Hedgehog Concept was originally based on an ancient Greek parable. Jim Collins published a management version in his influential book, "Good to Great."

 

The concept helps your organization focus on three main areas – passion, talent and the economic engine. By understanding each of these dimensions and, more importantly, how they intersect, you can identify the key focus that will guide your organization towards meaningful, long-term success.
