Reengineering the Process
Reengineering = the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business process to achieve dramatic improvements in critical, contemporary measures of performance such as quality, service, and speed.
![Page 3: Adaptive Course of Action ACTD](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56814636550346895db34568/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
CINC’s Objective
• Develop and demonstrate a Joint, Tightly Integrated, Crisis Action Planning and Execution System– Roots based on requirement for an integrated Crisis Action Planning and Execution
process
– Reduced requirements for deliberate planning if not eliminated
– Significantly improve information management and dissemination across the planning spectrum
– Reduce the numbers of formal messages required to support crisis planning
– Take advantage of concurrent planning.

Essential Rules
All communication must be digital.Study data online to gain and share insights easily.Shift military planners and decision-makers into high-level
thinking.Use digital tools to create virtual teams.Convert every paper process to a digital process. Use digital tools to eliminate single-task jobs.Create a digital feedback loop.Take a look at process and simplify it wherever possible.
![Page 5: Adaptive Course of Action ACTD](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56814636550346895db34568/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Essential Rules (cont’d)
Keep an eye on the grand picture.Too many hand-offs create too many likely points of failure.Creating a new process is a major project. Use digital systems to route problems immediately.Use digital communication to redefine the boundaries.Transform every process into just in time delivery.Use digital delivery to eliminate the middleman.Use digital tools to help people solve problems for
themselves.

ACOA Intent
USCINCPAC and AITS-JPO develop and demonstrate advanced technology enabling geographically dispersed planning and executing forces to rapidly generate, assess and adapt courses of action for military operations.
![Page 8: Adaptive Course of Action ACTD](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56814636550346895db34568/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Change
No one likes change, except, perhaps, a wet baby. Change isn’t linear anymore. It’s a time bomb, accelerating exponentially.

The need triggered today’s programs
– “What the warrior needs: a fused, real time, true representation of the Warrior’s Battle Space--an ability to order, respond, and coordinate horizontally and vertically to the degree necessary to prosecute his mission...”
C4I for the Warrior
12 June 1992
![Page 40: Adaptive Course of Action ACTD](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56814636550346895db34568/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• A C2 DSS must provide a shared vision of the battlespace to the warriors
A new way to look at things...
DECISION SPACE
• Success is defined by making commanders, staffs, and decision aids more effective decision makers
![Page 41: Adaptive Course of Action ACTD](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56814636550346895db34568/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
User Driven vs. Data Driven • The ‘chasm’: where you start often determines where you
finish...don’t be fooled by layers painted onto the data!
• Building the bridge is hard it requires a new approach!

Critical Characteristics of the problem
• Selected key characteristics:– High Value/Mission Critical decisions
– High Data Rate
– Overconstrained problem
– Evolving/”Rolling Horizon”
– Imperfect view of the world
• Every characteristic is also one that challenges human decision making...

Focus on Decision Makers’ needs…
not technology• Decision Support for collaboration:
More than just a remoted physical meeting!!
• Dealing with Data Overload:More than just reducing the numbers
![Page 45: Adaptive Course of Action ACTD](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56814636550346895db34568/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Future Key Technology directions
• Metrics for *delivered* Decision Effectiveness and Throughput
• Dramatically improved Decision Centered System Design methodologies
• Basic research in technologies that support shared understanding (collaboration)
• Intuitive presentations of complex, multivariable, abstract command decision making (time, options, mission, intent, …)
![Page 46: Adaptive Course of Action ACTD](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56814636550346895db34568/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
In Summary
• It will take *more* than IT initiatives alone to deliver the goods on advanced C2 DSS
• A future focus on exploiting technologies in a decision supporting environment is essential
