Green Book - Booz Allen Hamilton

“
To me, the Core Values are more than rules of
the road. They’re an ideology that defines us as a
top-level consulting firm and a set of practices that help
me be the best I can be—because of Booz Allen’s strong
value system, my professional and personal
lives complement each other.
Our Core Values speak to many elements of
good business. With both internal and external
clients, entrepreneurism and professionalism stand out
in my Booz Allen experience. Exemplifying these values
has led to new roles, new challenges, and new skills. ”
