Towards that purpose, the NATO Secretary General appointed an independent Group of Senior Experts (GSE) drawn from the Alliance Members. The GSE reviewed the processes and decision-making apparatus across the dimensions of requirement setting, resource allocation, risk management, programme control and capability delivery. A guiding principle for this work was the need to protect the effective application of consensus-based governance. The GSE concluded at an early stage in its work that any recommendations would need to ensure that the controls exercised through the life of a project applied a consensus test at the right time and in the right place. Appropriate oversight and individual (National) and collective (Alliance) agreement were essential but so was the effective delegation of project management and accountability to get the job done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The GSE undertook a wide-ranging review of the current governance and project control processes used by NATO to deliver capability programmes, recent IBAN reports, potentially useful benchmarks in the academic literature and in the practical delivery of projects in analogous organisations. Combining this analysis with the experience inside the GSE provided clarity of the problem, capacity to explore a range of areas, test potential solutions, and offer practical recommendations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Velizar Shalamanov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NC3A as a platform to support C4ISR capabilities development for the Comprehensive Approach</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">capability development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">common funding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emerging Security Challenges</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enterprise Architecture</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IED</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISAF</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47-64</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A model for cooperative capability development among NATO and Partner Nations in support of the Comprehensive Approach for crisis management is presented. The ‘Comprehensive C4ISR Approach’ (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) through NC3A could be a useful instrument, not only for operationalizing the Comprehensive Approach for crisis management, but also for change management across all of NATO, positioning the agency as a platform for collaborative capability development and service provision. It will help in: addressing the requirements of the Integrated Security Sector as a whole (more than just those of defence structures); providing coordinated support throughout the full life cycle of C4ISR capabilities, and combining diverse funding streams. This approach is supported by several newly available tools and venues for coordination. These could help match top-down requirements with “bottom-up” solutions to strengthen interoperability in secure environments for many players – NATO, Partner Nations, and other international organizations, including those associated with the EU or the UN. In turn, this approach could lead to a platform, based on Network of Excellence on C4ISR, although full realization of the Network will require significant organizational innovation and change management</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record></records></xml>
