Operational Analysis: Key Capability Supporting Decision-makingMilitary art

Ing. Pavel Zůna, MSS, Ph.D.

The defence environment is complex and dynamic. This is a result of the nature of modern conflict, rapid changes in technology, the need to deal with uncertainty in the face of limited sources, changed attitudes to risk and the sheer diversity of actors from different cultural backgrounds. Defence-decision makers are confronted with an increasing operational complexity that has strategic implications. Decisions on defence policy and strategy are characterized by uncertainty and risks. This Article describes differences in Hard and Soft Operational Analyses, and presents some examples and conclusions for military practice.

Keywords: Stratgic management, analysis, operational art, command and control, decision-making process.
