This area is for the continuing exploration and understanding of a net centric investment environment.
Net-centricity provides significant opportunities for improving the adoption of self-organization concepts to the DoD acquisition of IT. In fact, it allows us to think in terms of a net-centric investment environment in which self-organization is the key to meeting warfighter needs quickly and reliably. Net-centric acquisition involves application of net centric tenets in a self-organizing manner to ensure optimal support to the warfighter, similar to how self-synchronization provides another alternative to traditional hierarchical mechanisms for command and control. Self-organization in a net-centric investment environment would allow programs and their stakeholders an alternative method of tailoring the implementation of policies and procedures to optimize speed, quality, and response time to better meet needed capabilities.
Recently we have developed a Blue Print for Risk Based Governance in a Net Centric Acquisition Environment. Please access the Blueprint and other materials as they become available. More importantly, please contribute other references and ideas if you have something you think others could benefit from.
