People often ask how we got our unique moniker. The name HedgeHog Electric was inspired by business researcher Jim Collins’ classic book, “Good to Great.” He asserted that the key to growing and sustaining a business is simplicity.
He used a metaphor to illustrate his point, inspired by an ancient Greek allegory. Like most of Aesop’s Fables, it involved animals (in this case, a fox and a hedgehog). The fox tries every imaginable approach to try to kill and eat the hedgehog, from pouncing to playing dead to sneaking up on the quilled critter to using his superior speed.
Whatever method he uses, the fox ends every attack by slinking away, his nose and pride wounded by the hedgehog’s spines. The reason our unlikely hero defeats his enemy is that the hedgehog has one big ability it utilizes perfectly: self-defense.
Collins says the surest way for an organization to succeed is to identify its “Hedgehog Concept,” the thing they do best, and which sets them apart from competitors.
