What does PA stand for?
When businessman Ernest Butten founded PA Consulting Group in the 1940s, our main focus was helping companies get the most from their employees, while making efficiency and employee buy-in a top priority.
Today, PA is an independent, employee-owned, management consulting firm operating worldwide in more than 35 countries, including a strong presence in the US from Boston to Los Angeles and more than a half-dozen locations in between.
To our clients PA stands for innovation, responsiveness, and delivery in the Energy, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Financial Services, Federal & Defense Services, International Development, Communication, Media and Entertainment industries.
We bring insights and achievements to all our key industries – from creating 3rd generation mobile devices and restructuring energy markets worldwide, to building innovative drug delivery systems for global pharmaceutical companies and designing online businesses for major banks. These enable our clients to stretch their business goals and lead their industries in performance. Our clients know that we will consistently put their best interests before our own.
To our employees, PA stands for empowerment, ownership, and integrity. PA is fueled by the passion and energy of a global workforce encouraged to innovate and make their own decisions. Our employees are also our shareholders, and as they do valuable work for clients they grow their own business. Therefore, we attract great people who want to stay with us over the long-term and form strong partnerships with our clients.
So, more than 60 years after we were founded, we proudly retain our original name and the principles and beliefs that have sustained our success, creating a firm that is forward-looking, delivering value both to clients and employees alike.
