Who We Are
Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, The Advisory Board Company serves a membership of more than 2,600 leading hospitals, health systems, universities and other mission-driven enterprises in the United States and, increasingly, worldwide.
Our staff is comprised of 900 researchers, terrain-based experts, hospital administrators, clinicians and consultants, all dedicated to examining the critical issues facing our members and discerning "True North", communicating these insights and best practices with clarity, and providing innovative support such that members can achieve "best in class" performance. We offer an array of professional services—including research, executive education and development, decision-support tools, and consulting—allowing us to target the unique needs of each member institution.
We proceed with the conviction that sound and inspired ideas triumph. Ours is the task to find them and bring them to life.
Our Mission
The Advisory Board proceeds in the belief that organizations in certain sectors—health care, education, and government among them—have a charter above commerce, but preserving this higher calling requires an unyielding insistence on improvement. Our mission is to surface and secure economies of intellect on behalf of member organizations—discerning “True North,” communicating these insights and best practices with clarity, and providing innovative services such that our members can set compass and elevate performance accordingly.
