Global Business Network (GBN) is the part of Monitor Deloitte that helps businesses, NGOs, and governments use scenario planning to plan for multiple possible futures. It was previously a member of Monitor Group, prior to the acquisition of Monitor by Deloitte.〔(Futurist Peter Schwartz '68 Eyes the New Century ). Rensselaer Mag. December 1999.〕 GBN is based in San Francisco, and has offices in New York City, London, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.〔 ==History== GBN was founded in Berkeley, California in 1987 by a group of netrepreneurs including Peter Schwartz, Jay Ogilvy, Stewart Brand, Napier Collyns, and Lawrence Wilkinson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work =GBN.com )〕 The company grew to include a core group of "practice members", and over a hundred "network members" from a range of different fields, such as Wired editor Kevin Kelly, social media expert Clay Shirky, anthropologist Mary Catherine Bateson, economist Aidan Eyakuze, musician Brian Eno, biotechnologist Rob Carlson, and China scholar Orville Schell. For its first 15 years, corporate clients would pay up to $40,000 annually in order to gain access to this network of advisers through a private website, attend meetings on emerging trends and training seminars, and receive a selection of literature about future issues each month.〔(GBN Book Club Selections ). Archived from the (original ) on 2007-10-10.〕〔(GBN Members ). Archived from the (original ) on 1999-01-28.〕 GBN no longer offers this membership service, concentrating instead on scenario-based consulting and training. Before GBN, Peter Schwartz had been employed at SRI International as director of the Strategic Environment Center; following that, he took a position as head of scenario planning at Royal Dutch/Shell, from 1982 to 1986,〔(Long Boom or Bust ). The New York Times.〕 where he continued the pioneering work of Pierre Wack, in the field of scenario planning. The Network has been a part of Monitor Group since 2000.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Global Business Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
