Who We Are
The Advisory Board Company is the leading provider of comprehensive performance improvement services to the health care and education sectors—including operational best practices and insights, business intelligence and analytic tools, management training, unbiased technology evaluation, and consulting support. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, The Advisory Board Company is privileged to serve a membership of more than 2,800 organizations—including preeminent hospitals, health systems and universities—all sharing a charter “above commerce,” a commitment to best-practice standards, and an unyielding insistence on continual improvement.
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.
The Advisory Board Company has expanded its suite of physician-focused offerings through the acquisition of Southwind, an industry-leading management and advisory firm focused on hospital-physician alignment and physician practice management.
