Talk:Fast Five (consulting)

Notability questioned?
The "fast five" were notable in that they changed the methodologies of their "big five" analogues. Before web site consulting was popularized by, the discipline of usability engineering was not regularly practiced by the traditional consulting firms. (I have personal knowledge of this, as I used to teach principles of usability and GUI design to people in traditional consulting firms. It was an uphill climb in a blinding snowstorm, with rabid wolves heckling you about the need for such concerns as "usability".)

The notability of billions of dollars in combined market capitalization, changing best practices for large-scale consulting projects, being acquired by Microsoft (Razorfish), introducing time-based competition and bringing new disciplines together (knowledge management, and integrating the "creative", "technology", and "strategy" areas together - graphic/visual design, software developers and system integrators, and management consultants. Was this a lot to do in 5-6 years? Yes.  But these firms were typically full of overachievers who wanted to have a big impact on their professions. (I was personal knowledge of this as well, I have friends working at Razorfish.)

Some of these details are discussed on the pages for the individual firms, or in the references. Now that the structure is set up, I have added content to the article to make the notability clear. rhyre (talk) 23:00, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy delete completely unwarranted
