Launched in November 1995 by Alan Webber and Bill Taylor, two former Harvard Business Review editors, Fast Company magazine was founded on a single premise: A global revolution was changing business, and business was changing the world. Discarding the old rules of business, Fast Company set to chronicle how changing companies create and compete, to highlight new business practices, and to showcase the teams and individuals who are inventing the future and reinventing business. Now dozens of issues -- and awards -- later Fast Company is more than a magazine: It's a movement. It's a series of engaging live events. It's an acclaimed Web site. It's a global community. Together, these components strive to help people in the new economy discover the tools, techniques, and tactics they need to succeed at work and life.
