My team is working through Jim Collins' excellent book "Good to Great". We have been able to translate it for our library using his addendum for the Social Sector, except that we've hit a stumbling block we can't seem to get past. Can anyone out there help us determine/develop a Hedgehog Concept for a library?
We've identified our passions, what we are/can be best at, and our resources, but are struggling to distill all the various elements into a simple, brief, and deep statement.
We like Vancouver PL's mission/vision statement: "To enrich all, to reach all" but there is argument that it is too vague. Some feel that most any non-profit could adopt such a statement.
So here's the pitch. Can anyone out there help us develop a Hedgehog Concept for a public library? If you aren't familiar with the term, check out Collins' book (or website at www.jimcollins.com ). It has much to offer libraries.
I'll be here, waiting for replies. Please help us move our library to the next level!
Thanks,
Dave
