Every day Booz Allen generates innovative ideas that meet demands such as these from a variety of sources, including partnerships with start-ups, strategic alliances with third parties and the creation of the Strategic Innovation Group, which began with an initial $40 million investment and is capturing smart thinking from across the firm, building solutions around the strongest ideas.
