Consulting magazine is always on
the lookout for greatness. Two years
ago, we launched a new award—
Consulting’s Fastest Growing Firms. The
idea was to find a way to recognize
the firms that are disrupting the industry... from the bottom up. We always
knew they were out there and have
covered them anecdotally for years,
but we decided it was time to focus squarely on their revenue
to compile a ranking of Consulting’s Fastest Growing Firms.
With a baseline growth rate of 20 percent as qualifying
metric, last year 61 consultancies were recognized as the
Fastest Growing Firms. This year, applying that same qualifying metric, 75 firms make the final list.
These Fastest Growing Firms are a big deal. For that reason, we’ve devoted almost this entire November issue to
it—compiling a 90-page section to cover it all. These firms
are the future, and they deserve
to be recognized. For this award
recognition, we asked for revenue over a three-year period.
To participate, firms needed to
have at least $500,000 in revenue by Dec. 31 2013. The No. 1
ranked firm—Bellevue, Wash.-based BluePrint Consulting Services—grew at an astounding
2,538 percent. BluePrint beat out OnPrem Solutions Partners,
which grew at 1,412 percent. The winning firms averaged 248
percent growth. Simply stunning. How much did your firm
grow over the last three years? All 75 Fastest Growing Firms
and their stories can be found beginning on Page 10.
And in typical Consulting magazine fashion, earlier this
month we gathered the Fastest Growing Firms together at
a gala dinner celebration in New York—an evening to recognize the extraordinary accomplishments of these firms.
We wanted the opportunity to shine a light on these firms,
their results and their impact, as well as gather them all
in one place to network and talk about their strategies for
success. Photos and coverage of that evening can be found
beginning on Page 92.
