Seven Small Jewels, 2011

Every year, it seems, the stories of the Seven Small Jewels get more inspiring.

And this year is no different. More than 50 firms threw their hat in the ring for a chance to be called one of the Seven Small Jewels in 2011. The stories of the seven winning firms—as well as Seven To Watch—are highlighted over the next 10 pages.

More than anything, what unites the 2011 Seven Small Jewels is the desire to bring change. They are bringing a new energy, a new spirit, a new enthusiasm and are setting a new standard for the entire profession. They are affecting change not only for clients, but also inside their own organizations, and thus, tilting the playing field in their favor. But don’t take our word for it; the numbers do all the talking.
