C2 Re-envisioned

Command and Control (C2) is the set of attributes and processes by which an enterprise marshals and employs human, physical, and information resources to solve problems and accomplish missions. This book identifies four interrelated megatrends that are individually and collectively shaping the practice of C2 as well as the challenges we face. Considering organizational and technical factors at a conceptual level, the book demonstrates how C2 can go wrong and details steps readers can take to reduce the risk of such failures. The book identifies specific approaches enterprises can take to solve problems and accomplish critical missions.
