Synopsis

The 90th anniversary year of Booz Allen Hamilton, this book charts the history of the firm, the founder of the modern management consulting profession. Since its founding in 1914, Booz Allen has been involved in the emergence of modern corporations in the 1920s and 1930s, the Allied mobilization in World War II, the beginning and end of the Cold War, the dawn of the Space Age, the evolution of the personal computer, the breakup of old telephone systems and the creation of new ones, early public-private sector work in the European Union, the emergence of strong economies in Asia and South America, the waves of deregulation in the 1980s, the movement for environmental protection, and the birth of the modern U.S. National Football League. Booz Allen has also been witness to or participant in the reunification of Germany, the Gulf Wars, and the response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The firm's 90th anniversary book "Helping Clients Envision the Future" captures the highlights of Booz Allen's rich history and future direction through 128 pages of narrative, personal anecdotes, full-color images, and historical artifacts. "We occupy a unique position as a consulting firm that implements as well as it thinks - with vitality strong capabilities in commercial and government work and the rare ability to integrate them," writes Booz Allen Chairman and CEO Dr. Ralph Shrader in the foreword to the book. "Most important, we have a reputation for operating successfully, responsibly, and ethically. This is priceless, especially at a time when the survival of many professional services firms has been challenged."
