COMMAND

Measuring Agility

Authors: David S. Alberts; ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (NETWORKS AND INFORMATION INTEGRATION) ARLINGTON VA
Abstract:
21st Century mission challenges are Complex Endeavors with a complex mission, a complex environment, and a complex self. There is no "one size fits all solution" to accomplishing the functions that our community associates with Command and Control; different approaches are appropriate for different situations. The Command and Control (management, governance) of an entity is different from that of efforts to focus a Collective (complex self) and converge on a set of shared objectives. In Complex Endeavors, the relationship between the two is critical. Agility is not just a desirable capability, it is an Imperative. More network-enabled approaches are more Agile. What do you mean by Agility? How do you apply the concept of Agility to C2/M/G/F&C? How can we visualize and measure Agility? Does the evidence support the following assertions? Different approaches work best in different situations. More networked-enabled Approaches are more Agile.
