Bus/Financial - Economics
Japanese term or phrase: 企業OB
From a document on regional economic development:

短期・集中的に小規模企業の底上げ、生産性向上を図るためには、従前の経営改善普及事業に加えて、専門の指導員が地域小規模企業を巡回する濃密な支援体制を構築し、ITなど導入によるコスト削減と経営改新を実現する必要がある。このためインターネットを通じた財務会計ソフトを活用して、小規模企業が財務会計を整備し、自らの財務状況を正確に把握するための支援を要望する。また、商工会をはじめ先進的な支援プログラムを実施しようとする機関を全国で選定し、**企業OB**を含む専門科の派遣などの重点的な支援を要望する。

What is OB? Oversight Board maybe?

Thank you.
