Kalypso is no stranger to the pages of Consulting magazine. Named one of Consulting 's Seven Small Jewels in 2011 in large part for its explosive growth, the firm has no plans on slowing down as it celebrates its 8th anniversary. Founding partner Bill Poston is committed to continuing the firm's growth with the "4X4Y" plan—a plan to grow by an additional 400 percent over the next four years, increasing its current billable consultant headcount from 125 to 300 by 2015. Poston recently spoke with Consulting about this strategy, the secret to hiring like-minded employees, and why Stephen Colbert would be his ideal celebrity spokesman.
