Communication, Cooperation, and Coordination Model for Process Improvement of C2 Projects
Abstract
Often overlooked in the development of technological advancements are the difficulties associated with integrating these technologies into existing processes. Technologists, scientists, and research and development engineers seldom identify problems that the new technologies will not solve. Technology programs can be divided into two categories - minor "limited or localized scope" and major "national or widespread scope". Large programs require sustainable commitment of financial and human resources, and must be managed more prudently. Management teams will have to develop adaptive plans, techniques, logics, and risk management strategies in the management continuum to ensure program success. The management plan must be cognizant of the fact that the entire management team may have to change abruptly over time due to political changes. This is particularly crucial for Command and Control "C2" projects. Thus, there must be a mechanism to ensure continuity and consistency of C2 projects over different life cycles of management. This paper presents Communication, Cooperation, and Coordination model to improve the management of technology in C2 projects. The suggested approach facilitates sustainable cooperation and upfront communication of the limitations of technology integration.
