Good to Great and the Social Sectors

I read from today's newspaper a brief introduction of the above book by Jim Collins. I searched quickly on the website about the excerpt and found the followings:

The pivot point in Good to Great is the Hedgehog Concept.
The essence of a Hedgehog Concept is to attain piercing clarity about how to produce the best long-term results, and then exercising the relentless discipline to say, “No thank you” to opportunities that fail the hedgehog test.

When we examined the Hedgehog Concepts of the good-to-great companies, we found they reflected deep understanding of three intersecting circles:

1) what you are deeply passionate about,
2) what you can be the best in the world at, and
3) what best drives your economic engine.

On the above third circle,in terms of non-profit organization,the Hedgehog Concept just shifts from being an economic engine to a resource engine.The critical question is not

“How much money do we make?” but

“How can we develop a sustainable resource engine to deliver superior performance relative to our mission?”

I think as a body of Christ the church can also be benefited in developing a sustainable resource effort to deliver superior performance relative to our mission.
