PA Consulting Group Joins the CBI

LONDON, June 23, 2011 -

PA Consulting Group, the leading management and IT consulting
and technology firm, has joined the Confederation of British
Industry (CBI).

The CBI is the UK’s premier lobbying organisation which works
with the government, opposition parties, policy makers and
international legislators to help UK business compete
effectively.

Alan Middleton, chief executive of PA Consulting Group, says: “I
am delighted that PA, with its strong track record of helping
clients create sustained value for their organisations, is now
partnered with the premier lobbying organisation for UK
business.

“PA has some great thinking and experience particularly in the
areas of making organisations fit for the future, helping
organisations to take advantage of smart technologies, supporting
organisations to tackle the challenges of cyber security, enabling
companies to prosper through greening business policy and
technology, and positioning organisations for the future of
healthcare.  We look forward to working in a very focused way
in CBI member working groups, panels, and networking events to use
these insights to help UK business compete effectively.”

PA is focused on those areas where we can make a real difference
to clients. These are:

Supporting today‘s business leaders to make their
business fit for the future - we help business leaders
to deliver the substantial improvement in performance that ensures
their organisations are fit for the future.

Seizing the opportunities of a smart world - the business
leaders of tomorrow need to maximise the opportunities of an
interconnected smart world. From smart consumer goods to smart
cities, we give organisations the ability to anticipate changing
trends and develop the innovative products and services to meet the
demands of a fast-changing world.

Tackling the challenges of cyber security - cyber
security has becomes a pressing issue. With the type, frequency and

develop an effective strategy to protect consumers and citizens, as
well as manage their own reputational and financial risks.

support to organisations around the world so that they can operate
more sustainably.

pressures of rising costs and increasing demand. Our innovation
