I mean, I'm no Guy Kawasaki, Mark Zuckerberg or Sergi Brin...but have we found a possible "next business revolution"? A sort of Guerrilla Consulting.

They come in to an office and over a period of time they monotonously piddle through tasks making incremental gains that may or may not work in the future. Instead, we bring in a highly motivated task force that takes a predetermined project (as was done in Startup Weekend) and turns it out in a matter of days into a fully functional project capable of supporting itself through a novel infrastructure built in a VERY short amount of time and able to grow without the growing pains of test, execute and refactoring over the course of weeks, months or years.<br/><br/>We should discuss this further...
