Organization Description:
GBN specializes in helping organizations adapt and grow more effectively and more responsibly in the face of mounting uncertainty—whether it’s uncertainty about their future, the future of their industry, or the future of the world at large. Founded in 1987 and a member of the Monitor Group since 2000, GBN is a pioneer in the evolution and application of scenario planning, integrating this expertise with experiential learning, insights from a diverse network of thought leaders, and other strategic tools. The firm’s consulting and training services enable its clients—leading companies, governments, and nonprofits—to address five critical outcomes: enhancing strategy development and decision-making under uncertainty, catalyzing innovation, improving organizational adaptability, aligning stakeholders, and boosting executive intelligence. GBN is a collegial and fun intellectual environment and looks forward to welcoming its eighth Wellesley intern!

In particular, she will conduct background research on, and have an opportunity to write about, key uncertainties in the business environment—including developing markets (e.g., Asia, Africa, Latin America), environmental issues (e.g., climate change), socio-cultural issues (e.g., demographic trends), and technological/scientific developments (e.g., social networking, biotech). She will have one or more in-depth anchor projects, (ideally, at least one of these will be related to her own academic interests), as well as have an opportunity to work with many senior consultants on shorter term research tasks covering a wide range of issues and industries.
