Overview:
Strategy& is a global team of practical strategists, committed to helping you seize essential advantage by working alongside you to solve your toughest problems, and capture your greatest opportunities.
This means helping you undertake complicated, risky change. Our heritage of working on clients’ toughest problems, combined with the breadth and depth of the PwC network, means that we deliver speed, certainty, and impact. Whether it’s devising a corporate strategy or building capabilities by transforming functions and business units, we’ll help you create the value you’re looking for.
Strategy& was formed on March 31, 2014, when the firm formerly known as Booz & Company combined with PwC to form a new kind of consulting firm, offering strategy-through-execution services under one roof.
Together we bring more than 250 years of experience helping global clients solve their toughest problems. As part of the PwC network, we are members of a global team recognized for its professionalism and trust.
Our people are committed to our clients’ success, focused on helping you achieve essential advantage. We are collaborative, yet we challenge conventional assumptions and raise the big questions that need answers. We tell it like it is, bold and unafraid. By doing that, we work with you to develop the practical strategies you need.
We care about your organization and your success. We measure ourselves by our clients’ success and particularly by the impact you achieve in the market.
In our history, we were involved in some of the most celebrated business episodes of their day, including the dawn of the contract system for Hollywood movies, the merger of the National and American football leagues, and the rescue of the Chrysler Corporation from bankruptcy.
We developed the concept of human capital in the 1940s, product life cycle in the 1950s, supply chain management in the 1980s, smart customization in the 1990s, organizational DNA in the early 2000s, and capabilities-driven strategy in the current decade.
We are consistently recognized for our foresight and impact. We are known for our deep industry and functional expertise across public and private sectors, our influential global studies and books, and our award-winning management magazine, strategy+business. |

History:
Strategy& was formed on March 31, 2014, when the firm formerly known as Booz & Company combined with PwC to form a new kind of consulting firm, offering strategy-through-execution services under one roof. Together we bring more than 250 years of experience helping global clients solve their toughest problems.
Strategy& continues the former Booz & Company’s practical strategy legacy. As the oldest continually existing strategy consultancy in the world, Booz & Company established the profession as the first firm to use the term “management consultant.”
In 1914, Booz & Company founder Edwin Booz began conducting business research and solving problems for clients near his native Chicago. For nearly 100 years, the firm helped clients realize the essential advantage needed to survive, thrive, and win, and was involved in some of the most celebrated business episodes of their day, including:
the dawn of the contract system for Hollywood movies
the merger of the National and American football leagues
the rescue of the Chrysler Corporation from bankruptcy
the creation of Deutsche Telekom from government agencies that had grown up on both sides of the Iron Curtain
After separating from Booz Allen Hamilton in 2008 and becoming an independent firm, Booz & Company deepened its expertise through several acquisitions and combinations. They included:
2009: The firm combined with U.S.-based management consultancy Katzenbach Partners, a leader in the domain of organizational performance.
2012: Axon Advisory Partners joined the firm to launch a full-service team of strategists, designers, and technologists who help companies turn ideas into transformational digital businesses.
2013: The firm acquired international consulting company Management Engineers, bringing together two firms with a similar heritage and complementary service offerings — practical strategists who work alongside their clients to get the job done.
In 2014, as a member of the PwC network, Strategy& brings to client assignments the deep experience and proven track record central to its legacy, as well as the breadth and depth of the PwC network. Our combined strengths offer broader, deeper value to our clients in strategy, deals, tax, assurance, finance, technology, and operation — across every industry and virtually every geography. |
