History
In 1914, Edwin Booz had an idea. He believed that companies would be more successful if they could call on someone outside their own organizations for expert, impartial advice. In doing so, he created a new profession — management consulting — and the firm that would bear his name, Booz Allen Hamilton.
In our role as consultants, Booz Allen has been privileged to see, take part in, and catalyze many key events in the spheres of both business and government. We have 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 of environmental protection, and the birth of the modern US National Football League.
In addition, we have been witness to or participant in the reunification of Germany, the Gulf Wars, the response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the rise and fall of business cycles, and dramatic shifts in the ways that commerce, war, and peace have been conducted.
