#143 The Real C-cubed: Culture, Careers and Climate and how They Affect Military Capability (2002) By Nick Jans
 
Canberra Papers on Strategy and Defence No. 143
 
The Australian Defence Force needs a fresh way of thinking about personnel management issues. This book argues for a paradigm which we call 'C-cubed', to reflect the relationship between Culture, Careers and Climate€“ the three main elements of personnel capability.
 
This 'Real C-cubed' is a far cry from the simplistic capability formulation of Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence. The Army's capability rests on its professionalism and its social capital. To understand the 'C-cubed' interrelationship is to understand what makes the Australian Army tick: the 'what' and 'why' of its strengths and weaknesses in peace and war.
 
Culture, Careers and Climate are closely interrelated. This book explores this relationship and also sheds light on how these factors affect capability.
 
The new 'C-cubed' can help the Army align its personnel systems with its environment and its capability needs. But this isn't a book about personnel management; rather it's about thinking strategically about personnel issues to deliver more than simple procedural changes. This book is also a tool€“ a mirror, perhaps, to help the Services understand who they are and who they want to be€“ and a lexicon that can provide a vocabulary about personnel concepts of all kinds.
