S2 – Achieve Balance on Size: Agility Ratio

In Strategy 2 Zimmerman describes how to set up a SOC when focusing on size and agility (2014). In it he outlines how “The SOC’s structure must correspond to that of its constituency, balancing three needs.” These three needs describe having a cohesive team, monitoring the proximity of the SOC’s assets, and that the “budgetary and authority limitations inherent in the constituency
served.”
