The Hedgehog and the Fox…and the Hacker.
Justin Arbuckle – VP EMEA, Chief Enterprise Architect, CHEF@dromologue / [email protected]
"The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one
big thing.”Archilocus
…For there exists a great chasm between those, on
one side, who relate everything to a single
central vision …and, on the other side, those who
pursue many ends, … their thought is scattered
or diffused… without … seeking to fit them into [an all-embracing inner
vision].Isiah Berlin
Those who built the good-to-great companies were, to
one degree or another, hedgehogs. They used their
hedgehog nature to drive toward what we came to
call a Hedgehog Concept for their companies. Those who
led the comparison companies tended to be foxes, never gaining the
clarifying advantage of a Hedgehog Concept, being
instead scattered, diffused, and inconsistent.
Jim Collins
On average, companies that are resilient and can adjust to changing circumstances tend on average
to outperform less flexible companies. Yes, a few hedgehogs will turn out to be spectacularly
successful, but Hedghogs will also fail in large numbers.
