The '''Global Business Network''' is a network created in 1987 that describes itself as "a worldwide learning community of organizations and individuals—a network, connected by the open and generous exchange of ideas, 'out-of-the-box' scenario thinking, ruthless curiosity, and exciting new information technologies." [http://www.gbn.com/AboutHistoryDisplayServlet.srv]
The five founders of GBN were:
*[[Stewart Brand]]
*[[Lawrence Wilkinson]]
"Also instrumental in GBN's creation were several key colleagues in Europe: Kees van der Heijden and Arie de Geus, both former heads of Group Planning at Shell; and Bo Ekman, a consultant and former Volvo executive. Since 1999, GBN has been led by CEO Eamonn Kelly. Eamonn is the author of Powerful Times: Rising to the Challenge of Our Uncertain World and co-author of What's Next: Exploring the New Terrain for Business. Before joining GBN, Eamonn was head of strategy for Scottish Enterprise, one of the world's foremost economic development organizations. Working closely with Eamonn are the co-heads of GBN's consulting practice, Andrew Blau and Chris Ertel.
"In December 2000, GBN became a member of the Monitor Group." <ref>[http://www.gbn.com/AboutHistoryDisplayServlet.srv History], , accessed September 3, 2007.</ref>
