Business Outlook
Pros
- Market presence (i.e. ability to leverage brand & firm resources to accomplish goals) - Mature capabilities & ready to use IC - Places high emphasis on certifications and training (continued learning) - Name recognition
Cons
- With the divestiture of the commercial side, a lack of innovation and vision for "whats next" has emerged (i.e. the organization is slowly becoming the client it supports - Gov't) - The Carlyle groups "partnership" is looking more like an acquisition as the firm postures itself for an IPO. In doing so the maximization of short term benefits is being stressed over the overall quality and health of the firm - Growth at breakneck speed is eroding the environment and culture that built the Booz Allen brand
