One of the most priceless treasures unearthed during the excavations at Pompeii was one of the world’s oldest consulting reports by BCG.
Despite its age, it was preserved so well by the volcanic ash from Vesuvius that researchers were even able to see the “v44 MASTER v3 FINAL DRAFT” carved into the side of some of the stone tablets.
Rumours even say some of the senior partner pls fix comment tablets have survived as well, but so far no photographic evidence has been provided of those.
There were also some rumors earlier this year of the discovery of ancient Mesopotamian Accenture reports written in cuneiform, but as everyone knows that Accenture was founded after BCG, those rumors are highly questionable.

Yes, we documented everything in long detailed reports. Research happened in libraries and government research offices. Not much room for BS in those days, because everybody had more attraction for reading things closely.
I feel like we would do better work if we had to write memos with the only visuals being graphs/data.
We actually made slides that went into a machine to display on a screen
Google “overhead projector”. Basically the joke of writing on glass wasn’t too far off.
