s
s
Command and Control (C2) is the set of organizational and technical attributes il
i
o
and processes by which an enterprise marshals and employs human, physical,
u

and information resources to solve problems and accomplish missions. C2 •

A
Re-envisioned: The Future of the Enterprise identifies four interrelated
l
b
megatrends that are individually and collectively shaping the state of the art e
r
and practice of C2 as well as the mission challenges we face. t
s

•

A
These megatrends the book examines are: g
r
e
• Big Problems—manifested in part as increasing complexity of both
endeavors and enterprises, as military establishments form coalitions
with each other, and partnerships with various civilian agencies and
C
nongovernmental organizations
The Future
• Robustly Networked Environments—enabled by the extremely 2
broad availability of advanced information and communications
of
technologies (ICT) that place unprecedented powers of information
R
creation, processing, and distribution in the hands of almost anyone
the Enterprise
who wants them—friend and foe alike
e
• Ubiquitous Data—the unprecedented volumes of raw and processed
information with which human actors and C2 systems must contend -
e
• Organizational Alternatives—as decentralized, net-enabled
approaches to C2 have been made more feasible by technology n
v
The book analyzes historical examples and experimental evidence to
i
determine the critical factors that make C2 go wrong and how to get it right.
s
Successful enterprises in the future will be those that can reconfigure their
i
approaches in an agile manner. Offering fresh perspectives on this subject of
o
critical importance, this book provides the understanding you will need to
Marius S. Vassiliou
choose your organizational approaches to suit the mission and the conditions
n
at hand.
