Subject: TRAINING MAGAZINE'S TOP 100 ANNOUNCED

New Orleans

, February 27

While most of you watched the Academy Awards last evening, we were attending the annual Training Top 100 dinner where the 2005 Top 100 rankings were announced. 

It is with great pleasure that I am able to communicate that Booz Allen moved up from #4 last year to #2.

According to Training Magazine, a sophisticated array of learning opportunities awaits Booz Allen employees. "...growth demands all the support the learning organization can muster, yet it still has to stay in sync with the needs of the global strategy and technology consulting", says

Ed Cohen

, senior director of the Center for Performance Excellence.  "I'm lucky to have an incredible team," he says.  "I'm constantly in awe of what they do."   Thanks to the team, the center generates some impressive statistics:  32,000 participant days of training, 4,500 users of online self-study courses, 9,000 self study courses completed, and 125,000 hits on the Virtual Campus. 

On behalf of Booz Allen's Center for Performance Excellence, we want to thank all our colleagues across the People Services Team for their outstanding support and contributions throughout the year.  Working as an integrated People Services Team, we believe we have truly been able to provide more learning services aligned to Booz Allen's needs than ever before. We would also like to thank our 80 certified adjunct instructors from across the business, our learning partners who provide outstanding training services to Booz Allen, and the Principals and Partners of Booz Allen who provide ongoing guidance and support for learning at Booz Allen.

Please join me in congratulating the entire People Services Team.

Itis our joint efforts that has moved Booz Allen up to number 2 in the Top 100 rankings.

IBM ranked #1 for the second year in a row.

When Alison Fillmore decided to move to Chatham and start her website graphic design business, Vervaine, she worried that keeping in touch with clients in Boston would be difficult and that she would be tied to her desk.
