The defence industry is undergoing a transformation from the industrial to the net-centric age. The goal of network-centric operations is now widely accepted, yet the journey remains relatively uncharted. Given the scale of the challenge, are defence leaders confident about making the changes required to break through their industrial-era patterns - and complete their progression into the net-centric age?

This paper produced by the IBM Institute for Business Value, includes insights from defence forces around the world. It identifies six common success factors and provides practical advice to defence leaders on what they can do now. It is part of a series on network enabled capability.
