Wikistrat Inc., or WIKISTRAT, is a geostrategic analysis and business consultancy founded in Australia in 2009 and headquartered in the United States. It describes itself as the world's first crowdsourced consultancy leveraging a global network of 2,000 subject-matter experts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Wikistrat )〕 ==Products== Wikistrat is an online consultancy for strategic analysis and forecasting that claims to be significantly different from other consultancies. By using a Web 2.0 platform, Wikistrat allows peer-to-peer interactions and offers a real-time "environment of collaboration where analysts can manage the information overload, and exploit the wisdom of the crowd," according to its chief analyst, Thomas P.M. Barnett. "The platform and methodology... enables the interdisciplinary deconstruction of geopolitical issues and trends in a structured yet flexible manner, to aid strategists in thinking through problems in a systematic fashion.” He has described the Wikistrat platform as "Facebook meets Wikipedia," resembling Facebook with its large community of strategists and Wikipedia through its editable and dynamic encyclopedia known as the "Global Model" (GLOMOD). The company prioritizes particular geopolitical events and developments and runs analysis via strategic simulations. Its products include crowd-sourced simulations, war games, and planning exercises. Wikistrat's services allow for real-time observation by analysts and clients, alike, and promote interaction between the two. Notably, Wikistrat utilizes a completely transparent and fully archived process, distinguishing the consultancy from more traditional "black box" firms. Wikistrat enables analysts as well as clients to propose scenarios, inject vertical shocks, and/or brainstorm the implications of potential geopolitical risks. The structure is designed to give strategists the ability "to map out the full spectrum of alternatives.” 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「Wikistrat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
