Transforming Command Center Operations: Operational Knowledge Production in a Net Centric Environment

Abstract

Transformation within the Department of Defense is change in the way we fight, in the way we train, in the way we exercise, but especially, it's change in the way we think and how we approach our jobs. Yet, arguably, approaches to transformation continue to focus on systems-centric solutions and efforts, subsequently perpetuating processes that perpetuate stovepiped development associated with, if not appropriate to, the industrial age. Clearly, the challenge in achieving transformational objectives is to reconstitute cultural, organizational, and technological paradigms with an unambiguous integration of processes, people and organizations, as well as systems and system services. The resultant environment encourages and cultivates innovation and leverages legacy capabilities to ultimately enable mission objectives with a capabilities-based construct focusing on an integrated end-to-end capability set, not just systems.
