Jim Collins is an American business consultant, researcher, and author known for data-driven studies of what separates enduringly great companies from mediocre ones. His 2001 book Good to Great, based on a five-year research project examining companies that sustained dramatic performance improvements, became one of the best-selling business books of all time and introduced widely cited concepts such as "Level 5 Leadership" and the "hedgehog concept." Collins previously co-authored Built to Last with Jerry Porras, another influential study of long-lasting visionary companies. A former faculty member at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Collins now runs a management research laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, and continues to advise executives and write about organizational endurance and leadership.
