The Hedgehog Concept Characteristics of the Council The council exists to gain understanding about important issues facing the organisation The council is is assembled by the leading executive and usually consists of five to twelve people Each council member has the ability to argue and debate in search of understanding, not from egotistic needs to win a point or protect a parochial interest. Each council member retains the respect of every other council member without exception. Council members come from a range of perspectives, but each member has deep knowledge about some aspect of the organisation and/or the environment in which it operates. The council includes key members of the management team but is not limited to members of the management team, nor is every executive automatically a member. The council is a standing body, not an ad hoc committee assembled for a specific project The council meets periodically, as much as once a week, or as infrequently as once per quarter. The council does not seek consensus, recognising that consensus decisions are often at odds with intelligent decisions. The responsibility for the final decision remains with the leading executive. The council is an informal body, not listed on any formal organisation chart or in any formal documents * Taking Your Organisation From Good to Great The Hedgehog Concept - Summary The hedgehog concept and the council mechanism are models of deep understanding AND incredible simplicity The “what you are passionate about” circle overlaps nicely with core values and purpose.
