NPOV: Article an Example of Company Editing its Own Page
This page has clearly been edited and modified by current Arthur D. Little employees. 
Cyoung makes an important point about the bankruptcy of ADL and its demise. While I wish the company that now calls itself (with reason, since it bought the name) ADL all success. The company founded by Dr. Little that established the reputation of ADL ceased to exist in 2002. The new ADL is not a continuation of that entity, but rather an entirely new enterprise.
Charles Koch is listed as an ADL alumnus who became a success in business. His web bio makes no mention of this connection and notes that he received his 2nd MS from MIT in 1960 and joined his father's firm, soon to become Koch Industries, in 1961. Charles La Mantia, President of ADL in the 1990s did work at one time for Koch Industries. Could their be some confusion here?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hermanpeter (talk • contribs) 04:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Thuriaux, a simple question: are you an employee of Arthur D. Little, Altran, or an affiliated company? If so, then you should play no role whatsoever in editing this page, and any content that you have added is a candidate for deletion.
This article should be far shorter. Comments about ADL being well-regarded, etc. are not encyclopedic. A simpler version would simply explain that ADL is a management consulting company, give a short description of its history, including its bankruptcy, and explain its current status. There is no need for anything more in the Wikipedia context. Cyoung66 (talk) 15:29, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The historical overview makes a useful addition to the site.  Maybe we could get some of the old ADLers to add additional material here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thuriaux (talk • contribs) 20:32, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  2010 update 

message: I'm afraid that what now call itself Arthur D. Little is in some way the same company that officially went bankrupt in 2002 (after all, chapter 11 has been conceived to ensure business continuity, isn't it?). In fact, I think that in the consulting business a company is fundamentally made of a brand/name (that is currently used by ADL), accumulated knowledge(ADL can leverage the knowledge acquired through hundreds of projects performed during the twentieth century), people (when ADL "ceased to exist", as you mentioned, many consultants continued to work for ADL with no difference but a new shareholder - Altran . Some of them is still active. They transferred to youngest people ADL culture, heritage and way of doing).
I think that ADL is somehow smaller and more focused on strategic consulting than it actually was over the last century. Nevertheless, it remains the same company and its alumni should help it in succeeding in the marketplace.

message: The page for Booz & Company says it is the oldest consulting company in the US, founded in 1914.  ADL was founded in 1909.  How is Booz & Company the oldest?

message: I was surprised to see no mention of the ADL's Bhopal Disaster report here, so I added a brief paragraph with two citations. This was one of ADL's most controversial and most covered investigations. Mvblair (talk) 15:08, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
