Since not so long there is a internet based crowdsourced consulting firm with worldwide audiences, which is named Wikistrat and is breaking all the paradigms and existing models of consultancies, especially regarding the field of geopolitical analysis, national security, oil, religious issue and in general world affairs current issues that are the most concerning ones for all the people around the world, and which is allowing increasingly growing analysts and people with strong interests in these aforementioned disciplines to have a voice and say and interact all over the world in a 24/7/365 basis. Just enough to have a fast data plan, a good laptop and thats it, as long as one gets to enter its parameter and meet their corporate criteria, once in, a whole new interactive way to analyze different situations in the international landscape, and most importantly, in real time, allowing analysts to grow and experience and see different points of view, through diverse mechanisms used to approach problems and themes set to discuss. If not through open forums, then we have interesting scenario simulations, red team analysis, which is an extraordinary yet innovative way to further approach an issue on different analytical tools, and also through wargaming exercises, which altogether represent new and fresh ways to find solutions and responses to many current world crises unfolding in a direct and very horizontal way. Definitely, Wikistrat has paved a new and alternative way for corporations and companies to develop a consultancy strategy and which is even more important, has shown the power of the people to find solutions for the most acute world problems in a simple yet enriching and plain way.
