Booz Allen Hamilton was one of the nation's first management consulting firms, tracing its roots back to 1914. At its peak, the firm generated over $4 billion in consulting revenue and employed more than 20,000 consultants.
The firm went to market with two sets of offerings, one aimed at the public sector and one aimed at commercial business. In May 2008, BAH leadership decided to make a clean split: Booz & Company would handle the commercial business and Booz Allen Hamilton would stay focused on the lucrative U.S. government business.
A number of factors lead to the split, most notably that the two businesses had grown apart in the way they were operated, the way they were managed, the way they were staffed, and the clients they served.
