Who we are

Culture

Our people are our inspiration. We work in blended, multi-disciplinary teams, drawing on our collective knowledge to solve the world’s most complex challenges. 

We know diversity provides our strength, so we enable our people’s growth through the variety of work we do – valuing both technical capability and breadth of experience.

The mindset of ingenuity

For us, ingenuity is a mindset. Literally, it means clever, original and inventive. In day-to-day life, it sparks when we bring bright people and brilliant people together. It’s a powerful force that makes extraordinary ideas a reality.

As a team, we’re energised by our shared curiosity and pioneering spirit. And grounded by our deep care for our clients and each other. 

We come together, motivated by solving complex challenges and answering big questions, finding opportunities for our clients, their communities, and the wider world.

Our voice

Our people care passionately about the societal and cultural debates of our era. They contribute effort to thinking, writing, and debating these important topics. Their insights and experience take collective action further.

Our Purpose

PA Consulting

We believe in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future.

This is PA’s purpose, the lighthouse guiding what we do, how we do it and, most importantly, why we do it. It means we’re proud to work with clients who make a positive contribution on ground-breaking and innovative projects that improve people’s lives.

For us, ingenuity is a mindset. We’re optimists who believe that when you put bright people and brilliant technology together, amazing things happen. It isn’t just transformative and fascinating. It means delivering actual results every day, helping find new opportunities for our clients, communities, and the wider world.

It’s this mindset that creates the environment for progress. And with this at the heart of who we are and what we do, we believe that a positive human future is perfectly achievable.

Our Values

The PA promise

We’re committed to always doing the right thing, not just the easy thing. That principle is core to the way we work with each other, and with our clients. It inspires us towards our goals of creating an inclusive culture, fairer communities, and being a sustainable business.

Mentoring

We believe mentoring can have a transformational impact on learning, personal growth and career aspirations. We match we match people in need of coaching and networks with PA mentors who provide long-term and individualised support. We focus on improving future career and education outcomes often at pivotal transition points for our participants.

Community & Impact

PA in the Community

Our purpose of building a positive human future extends into the communities where we live and work.

We give our time and expertise to develop and inspire people, particularly those facing disadvantage, to be the innovators and leaders of tomorrow, applying their ingenuity to solve the world's biggest challenges.

We do this through our PA in the Community programme which delivers a range of skills-based, pro-bono, and hands-on support to non-profits working with those facing disadvantage across our communities.

All PA people have three days each year to volunteer and, in 2023, gave over 21,000 hours of their time to support our programmes and the causes they care about across the UK, US, and Europe. Collectively, we supported over 3,700 people through various initiatives to improving educational, skills, and employment outcomes for participants.

Impact

We’re invested in what happens to our world and partner with clients who feel the same. Combining inspiration and insight, we translate imagination into impact.

Together, we'll tackle the world’s toughest challenges and seize its greatest opportunities.
