Notable Contributions
Over the years, Booz has been credited with developing some of the most important concepts in business. Most notably, the firm coined the terms and developed the concepts of supply chain, supply chain management, product life cycle, the PERT Chart, and the Organizational DNA concept.
The firm publishes the majority of its thought leadership in its quarterly management magazine Strategy+Business, which in 2009 was one of just two business magazines to grow its circulation, along with The Economist. The publication's founding Editor-in-Chief Joel Kurtzman was a former Harvard Business Review Editor-in-Chief. While at Strategy+Business, he coined the widely-used term thought leader.
In 2010, the independent White Space report on consulting firms' thought leadership, ranked Booz as first in foresight because of "the consistently interesting and topical writing in strategy+business".
The Katzenbach Center at Booz & Company has generated pioneering research on the importance of fostering companies' informal organization to improve corporate performance. In a white paper entitled "Fast Track to Recovery" and the book Leading Outside the Lines, Booz Partner Jon Katzenbach uses various case studies to illustrate the exchange between the formal and the informal elements of organizations.
