In a study of the most consistently successful companies, Jim Collins identified that each of these companies uses what he calls the Hedgehog Concept. The fox, renowned for his cunning, has many strategies for killing the hedgehog. On the other hand, the hedgehog has only one strategy for defending itself. Whenever the fox attacks, from whatever direction, the hedgehog rolls itself into a ball of spikes. It works every time. The hedgehog is supremely good at one thing, and it survives by sticking to its winning strategy.The most consistently successful companies identified the one thing at which they can be world-beaters - and then they focused on this speciality to consistently beat the competition.
