I have been working at The Advisory Board Company full-time (More than a year)
I've been with the firm long enough to understand how things actually work internally, but not so long that I'm insulated from the realities of working elsewhere. I've waited to post a review until I felt like I could lay out both the positives and negatives of working here, because both exist.
No review is going to be comprehensive, but overall the biggest positives of ABC are:
1. We do genuinely meaningful work in health care and higher education, and the vast majority of employees/leaders are truly bought in to the mission. There's a real sense of purpose among the groups I've been exposed to (which is a lot of them across both businesses and multiple locations), and not the kind of manufactured kool-aid drinking you might see behind a new widget for a banking company. People come (and stay) at ABC because they believe the firm's work has a real and lasting impact on people's lives. And it does.
2. Generally speaking, the people are incredible. Even negative reviews seem to agree, and while there are young managers in some places, the firm invests heavily in providing growth opportunities and the training to level up in your career. Everyone's mileage will vary, but I've had the best managers of my career at ABC and have been given more autonomy to be creative (while getting my job done) here than anywhere else I've worked.
3. The culture is authentic. The firm's proud of it and isn't shy about selling it, but the community- and wellness-focused culture is real and goes deep. Employees really do volunteer during the work day. People do, in general, have flexibility in their work schedule to balance it with the demands of personal life. We get an insane amount of PTO which we are actually encouraged to use, and the other benefits support a strong work/life balance.
4. There's a lot of opportunity to grow and advance. ABC's products and services span a wide range, and charting a path through different departments/positions is encouraged and supported. The firm sells that to potential candidates, and I was skeptical that it would really be something they support, but I've seen it happen regularly at very junior and very senior levels. They can't/won't create dream jobs out of thin air, but both business leaders and HR seem to genuinely believe that helping employees move into new roles aligned with their interests is good for business and good for employees.
Is it perfect? Of course not. Some downsides and challenges are:
1. The organizational structure is downright complicated. Some of this seems to be because of the way the company has grown over time, but it's hard (particularly as a new employee) to have a strong grasp of how all the pieces fit together. If your role doesn't require exposure to other parts of the business, you probably won't know much about it unless you go out of your way to learn. That said, in an effort address the org complexity as well as the slow growth on the health care side of the business...
2. ...the health care side of the business restructured and roles were eliminated. This was hard and kind of scary, and I personally had friends and colleagues who were affected. That said, I think most people could see a strategic shift for health care was long overdue, and senior leadership has been falling all over itself in eagerness to explain the strategy and how it will streamline and focus the business on the path back to growth. In general there's a lot of uncertainty in the health care market post-election (potential repeal of ACA, etc.), so it's a challenging time to be in this business and ABC's going to have to place the right bets in a dynamic environment. The education part of the business seems to growing like crazy.
3. If you aren't based in DC, your reality is (by default) going to be a little different. You aren't going to have as many executive visits/presentations, and you may be a remote participant in some of the large-scale things that go on at the DC headquarters. Each non-DC office seems to have its own local thing going, and in some ways that uniqueness is fun, but the groups can also feel isolated. That may be more a reality of a geographically dispersed business than something particular to ABC, but it's worth noting.
Advice to Management
Continue to (over)communicate the new health care strategy and be transparent on how we're doing against it, continue to invest in career development for employees, continue focusing on work/life balance, and continue to be mission-driven (again, it's why people come and why people stay).

Lots of health care data makes you realize why hospitals need us more than ever such as for reducing care variation or optimizing revenue and cost. Data First philosophy is big push to build enterprise analytics.
RAPID needs to be quicker. Sometimes it takes long to make decisions with a clear D (decision maker).

Faster decision making. Also PMs need to build clear roadmap for long term goals.

Good culture that adapts and changes to the healthcare landscape. They have a strong mission and values that they ensure their employees know and embed in their work. The Austin office is a much more laid back atmosphere and I would highly recommend working from that office if possible. They offer nice amenities by accommodating employees with a nice modern office, game tables, modern furniture, and community areas that offer free Coca Cola products as well as coffee and tea. ABC is a good company that cares about truly improving healthcare.
The Advisory Board is currently looking to sell the company which is not going over well with employees as we are certain they are more concerned with appeasing investors than their dedicated employees. When I first started I fell in love with ABC but as of late, have started to realize they truly care more about making money than improving healthcare. One of our corporate members came to the office a few months back and when she was proposed a question regarding money and our mission she said, without money you can't have a mission. Although this is true it isn't comforting to employees that are more concerned with helping hospitals as compared to charging them $100,000 a year for a product that works but still needs a large amount of improvement. Also their products are very good at solving one problem and they don't talk to each other. So instead of creating a few really good products they charge hospitals way too much money for each individual product on a subscription basis that adds up quickly. Also it is luck of the draw with your manager my first manager was amazing and I wish I could have followed her to her current product line but now I was given a first time manager who is very good at pointing out mistakes and shortfalls through micromanaging. Therefore I am now on the job search for something better.
Advice to Management
Don't sell the company. I can almost guarantee you (whether you sell or not) that you will no longer be in the Top 100 healthcare employers come 2018. Your employees bust their butts to make your products work for members who really don't think it solves their problems. Due to recent conversations I can tell you are starting to understand that but frankly I don't think you will be able to produce solutions utilizing technology fast enough. I can't even get them to make simple improvements to my product line within a year. Your development team needs an overhaul because they are just not getting it done fast enough to be competitive. They are also very adamantly unresponsive and don't accept feedback or tasks well. Regardless, you have done the worst thing a growing company can do and that is instill fear in their loyal employees by threatening to sell the company. We are smart and understand that no matter what you say, when you sell the company, no one is ever safe (At this scale). I wish the best for the firm.

the company has a strong reputation, intelligent people, and incredible analysis. This company provides impressive insight to keep healthcare systems working at their best, especially within the current confusion in the market.
The Performance Technology division is now an anchor on the company. People are leaving or planning to leave because leadership does not want to hear they are doing a poor job. Despite an activist shareholder calling the company "mismanaged", leadership is continuing with business as usual. stay away from this division until announcements are made about new leadership, new ownership, or something indicating changes are near.
Advice to Management
There's a reason why people keep leaving and the division keeps making less money...starts at the top. It;s time to cut loose the legacy leadership who grew the company on M&A and not on organic growth. many good people are walking away and no one seems to be doing anything to stop it...been a one way door heading out all of 2016.

Flexible working arrangements, very reasonable benefits for this day and age (the cost of the benefits does not rise nearly as much as the industry standard), very smart and committed people in certain parts of the company.
The parts of the company with the really smart people are not in the technology side of the house. Too much NIH ("Not Invented Here") in all of the technical organizations makes for re-invention of basic tools, wasted development time, lack of vision, and mind-numbingly poor decision-making. Elliott Management's recent investment in the firm is leaving things a bit uncertain.
Advice to Management
Stop listening to the people that have been in the same position for years on the technology side. There is a reason the firm is not able to compete in the technology space. This was an area that was ours for the taking, and you ceded the advantage of member relationships and "first in the space" positioning to poor technology leaders that only accidentally happened into their roles initially, and the executive staff did not (and still does not) recognize the need for installing technical leaders who will deliver. You need to recognize that lack of performance and delivery on the technology side is not because the marketplace is all of a sudden more competitive, it's because your technology leaders (senior directors to svps) are not capable of delivering, and make the changes necessary. Otherwise, consider outsourcing the entire technology function or selling it. There's no reason to continue throwing good money after bad, after all.

The people are the best perk. You work with smart, interesting, and professional individuals who will make your day brighter. There were some cool social events. The PTO is next-level: 21-25 days per year, plus a few that the company will gift you.
Communication is really lacking. Recent offshoring is leading to quality issues. Mid-level management agrees, but upper-level management pushes onward. Pay is below industry standard. Benefits have increased dramatically in cost, with no increase in quality of coverage. Work/life balance (for my position) will disappear unless you fight for it, and even then is tenuous at points.
Advice to Management
Invest in your US employees and in quality. Be wary of transitions that seem to good to be true - they often are. Ask newer hires (1-2 yrs with the company) how long it took for them to be truly trained - this should be your scope. Finally, consider the amount of transitions that teams and products can take at once. Change is good, too much change is stifling.

Enjoy Harbour House ladies .... last time I ate there we had a huge Seafood Platter and I don't think I needed to eat for 24 hours afterwards ...... it was stupendous.
Yes, DH and I are still dreaming about the two meals we had at The Harbour House last time with the March 2014 crew - I have to say the one at Kalk Bay (which we went to later on) has the most amazing views, if you get a chance to go there it's well worth it.
Cathy, we are leaving on the 17th as well - I can't believe how fast it is approaching!

Very exciting news today that I have got an appointment to see Dr Wazza tomorrow. Given all the glowing reviews from many of you ladies this is giving us some confidence we will be in good hands for 'local' support.
Also having a laparoscopy next Monday to check there is nothing else going on that implantation isn't successful.
Meanwhile looking for another donor. So wheels in motion again.
Hope everyone is doing well! xx
Really glad to hear you got in to see Wazza PSS - you can go into this next cycle knowing you're in the best hands both here and CPT. He'll do all the testing you need to rule anything out too so that will be great peace of mind. xx
Has anyone had a cold while taking Synarel before? I am on day 2 of taking it and have come down with a cold so am really worried that the nasal spray will be ineffective.

Police said attackers have gunned a local employee of the US embassy in Islamabad, though the motive that triggered the strike is still unclear.
Police identified the dead employee as Iqbal Baig, saying he worked for the US Drug Enforcement Agency. They say Baig was killed early Sunday morning at his home.
The US embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Pakistani police officer Khalid Awan, who confirmed Baig's slaying, said US embassy security officials had visited the crime scene.
Baig belonged to a minority Muslim Shia sect known as the Ismaili. Ismailis largely live in peace in Sunni-dominated Pakistan, though Islamic extremists in the country view Shiites as heretics. Gunmen in May shot and killed 50 Ismailis in the southern port city of Karachi.

Narrative Mortality by Catherine Russell
Book DescriptionWhat seems like closure might be something more, as Catherine Russell shows us in this book about death in narrative cinema since the 1950s. Analyzing the structural importance of death in narrative endings, as well as the thematics of loss and redemption, Russell identifies mortality as a valuable critical tool for understanding the cinema of the second half of the twentieth century. Her work includes close textual readings of films by Fritz Lang, Wim Wenders, Oshima Nagisa, Jean-Luc Godard, and Robert Altman, among others. In these analyses, Russell reveals an uneasy relationship between death and closure, which she traces to anxieties about identity, gender, and national-cultural myths, and also to the persistence of desire. Drawing on the work of Walter Benjamin, she shows us death as a fundamentally allegorical structure in cinema - and as a potential sign of historical difference, with crucial implications for theories of film narrative and spectatorship. "Narrative Mortality" provides an insight into the dynamics of postmodern cinema as it emerged from the modernist preoccupation with existential mortality. By tracing the role of death from a work that precedes the Brechtian cinema of the 60s ("Beyond a reasonable doubt") to several that succeed it ("Nashville", "The State of things"), the book expands the narrative project of new wave cinema and ushers it onto a broad historical plane.

Soumya - Waterloo NSW, Australia - January 11, 2013
"I first used Giftbasketsoverseas.com months ago. I placed an order from USA going to Russia. I placed on a Saturday night and it was delivered to my friend on Sunday. I was amazed how quick it was. I just placed my 2nd order on May 3rd another Saturday night and again it was delivered the next day. My friend loved it. Her Mom is going in the hospital for surgery so I just wanted to give them some joy. They forgot to put my card with the message with gift. It really was not a problem but they really stepped up and the next day brought my friend a complimentary box of chocolates. That was a great gesture and I will be using gift baskets solely and will recommend to anyone that will be shipping abroad."

Administrators on the islands failed to spot portents of decline in a once great cricketing nation
In the early months of 1981, the head of Kodak's market intelligence conducted a review of the potential effects of Sony's first electronic camera. There was good news and bad: the bad was that digital technology had the potential to kill Kodak's existing model; the good was that the company had many years to position itself for that transition. Three decades later, the company filed for bankruptcy protection.
Kodak's decline, the classic example of a company harried out of existence by rapid and disruptive technological change, has been the subject of many business books. Most have come to the conclusion

Rome, January, 24th, 2017 (LUISS). International students and communication professionals are (...)
Tuesday 28 June 2016, by SIGNIS
Brussels, June 28, 2016 (Guido Convents) On June 29, 1936 the first encyclical letter on cinema was published by Pope Pius XI. It was a significant one and it opted also for certain political positions. It had an important influence on Hollywood's film production for the next three decades. This in a country, the United States, where only about 18% of the population was Catholic. It also showed the Vatican policy towards the International Catholic Office for Cinema (OCIC): openly friendly but at the same time behind the Vatican Walls policies were set up to finish with this kind of a committed lay apostolate in cinema.
Although the Pope had showed in a letter to OCIC president Brohée an interest and even supported his lay apostolate in cinema openly in 1934, he didn't make almost no references to OCICs work and views on cinema in his Encyclical Vigilanti Cura (1936). The Pope had prefered to ask the American Bishops for advice and he had opted for the vision of the Legion of Decency towards cinema, which meant mainly considering film as a danger and an evil.
At the Milan conference on Cinema and Catholics in Italy which was held early June 2016, the Italian historian Gianluca della Maggiore highlighted in detail how American bishops were involved in the writing of the Encyclical letter. He revealed also for the first time the role of the German Jesuit Friederich Mückermann. Mückermann had strong links with OCIC but his interventions to give OCIC and the Catholic Action in cinema a voice were ostensibly not heard or even not considered. He apparently brought in the element of the danger of authoritarian states like Germany who used the cinema to propagate anti-catholic values. In these years the Vatican didn't trust OCIC, although this lay organization was headed by two priests. In adopting the American Bishop's policy on cinema, the Vatican wanted to submit this also as a universal view to the Catholics worldwide.
The American Bishop's had with the Legion of Decency an influence on Hollywood and Hollywood's cinema was seen worldwide. OCIC had a different philosophy, which was diversity and using cinema as a positive medium in the evangelisation. In every country, the national office and member of OCIC was embedded in a local culture which determinate also the moral appreciation of films. It considered the Catholic cinemagoer as someone who could make choices, when well informed. This meant it had to develop the work of moral film appreciation, criticism and journalism , WIth the information of the national Catholic film association the cinemagoer had to be able to decide for himself which film he wanted to see. In writing and promoting the "good" films – artistically and morally- in a professional way, OCIC and its national members wanted also to influence the distribution of films.
For the Vatican the policy and philosophy of OCIC was not clear (the moral appreciation for the same film in i.e. Germany could differ with the one in France).It was different from its own policy towards cinema, which was based on a top down policy.. In the Vatican it was Mgr Giuseppe Pizzardo in the secretary of State and linked to the Catholic Action, who did everything in the years 1934-1937 to make an end of OCIC. He almost succeeded but he couldn't execute his plans because he was appointed in December 1937 Cardinal and got another function in the Vatican.
With Vigilanti Cura, Pope Pius XI was opting for a dual policy: the first was the American one which was for those countries in which Church and state were separated. This meant that the bishops could put pressure on the film industry via their moral codes. In this way they hoped to influence the number of cinemagoers who would go to the films. The second one was more directed to authoritarian fascists countries like Italy - and later Spain where the encyclical letter turned out into a kind of cleric-fascist love story, remarked Michel Lagrée in her article L'Encyclique Vigilanti Cura sur le cinema (1936) published in Rome in 1996.
And OCIC in this story! It had to struggle for the next twenty years (1934-1954) to be appreciated by the Vatican. Although there was the pressure of the Legion of Decency OCIC did continue to believe that education towards film and film literacy was indispensable!
The Belgian researchers Dr Leen Engelen and Lieven Boesen, who are studying these days the OCIC archives at the KADOC, explained that the Vatican wish to finish with OCIC was still present in the beginnings of the 1950s. After the war, Mgr Ferdinando Prosperini was the representative of Italy in OCIC and became even its vice president, He changed his policy completely of supporting OCIC, the moment he was appointed secretary of the newly founded Commissione Pontificia per la Cinematografia Didattica Religiosa! Without the approval of the board of OCIC he did nominate himself as member of this commission representing OCIC.
The Commissione Pontificia per la Cinematografia Didattica Religiosa had an action plan and a mission which was such that it could be seen as the Vatican way to replace or to neutralize OCIC. Only by negotiations with the Vatican in which OCIC members as Andrei Ruszkowski played a role, the attitude of this commission could be changed. At the same time OCIC announced also that it intended to establish a Missionary secretariat in the Vatican so that there would be a presence of OCIC at the Vatican.
From the mid 1950s the Vatican did accept the way OCIC considered its cinema apostolate. It became also for Rome obvious that OCIC was able to respond better to the cultural changes in the Catholic World world wide than the Legion of Deceny.

An international study focuses on the importance of jewelry in the bond between mothers and daughters
Jewelry has always been a couples' thing. Traditionally the man has been the giver and the woman has been on the receiving end. One could say that more than any other female accessory, the jewelry piece has the natural ability to make people talk and to bond. Even today, the jewel has the power to bring people together. But the international markets are telling the story of a new kind of relationship – the relationship not between a man and a woman but between a mother and a daughter.
This exchange of jewelry takes on an inter-generational aspect among women. Vogue Gioiello and Brandvalue carried out research in Italy, France, the U.K., China, Japan and the U.S. with a focus on female buyers purchasing designer pieces over 1,500 Euros.
Those interviewed (1,000 per country) were between 20 and 50, highly educated and very media savvy. In addition, we looked at those who were of great economic means, which allows them to buy whatever they want in terms of styles and brands. These are people who are explorers. They are curious and innovative but not necessarily fashionistas. They can truly be defined as influencers or opinion leaders in their circle of friends and family.
We noticed that mothers and daughters not only shared clothing and bags, but they also especially shared jewelry. There's the desire among young women to 'upgrade' their look while 40-year-olds are looking for new ways to express themselves. One of the most interesting aspects was that we found they like to buy jewelry together.
As for types of jewelry purchased, it seems there's a sort of "inversion" going on. Younger buyers like more classic pieces while older buyers are a bit bolder and more daring. In a society in which younger people do not have the stability their parents may have had, a jewelry piece today has the same value it once had as something reassuring and solid. It is interesting to note that women in their thirties prefer the most recognizable brands, especially the international ones.
