Dr. Mica Endsley created a model of Situational Awareness that expands on the OODA loop [1]. There are critics, but I've found her model and papers to be outstanding when I've worked on Intelligent Software Agent projects. Another related topic is the adaption of the OODA loop to military command decisions, what the US military calls the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) [2][3]. I would recommend reading about the MDMP to anyone running a business, or being a technical lead. I'd also recommend the the better known books The Art of War [4] by Sun Tzu and The Book of Five Rings [5] by Miyamoto Musashi. I've had some chuckle at the idea of a book ostensibly on sword fighting being useful in business, until I mention the 9 basic principles Musashi lays out in the first section: * "Do not think dishonestly." * "The Way is in training." * "Become acquainted with every art." * "Know the Ways of all professions" * "Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters." * "Develop an intuitive judgement and understanding for everything." * "Perceive those things which cannot be seen." * "Pay attention even to trifles." * "Do nothing which is of no use." The analogy to business is also in the MDMP, as seen from the the 7 top level steps of the MDMP, from Wikipedia: * Receipt of Mission * Mission Analysis * Course of action (COA) Development * COA Analysis (aka Wargaming) * COA Comparison * COA Approval * Orders Production, Dissemination, and Transition [1] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/210198492_Endsley_MR_Toward_a_Theory_of_Situation_Awareness_in_Dynamic_Systems_Human_Factors_Journal_371_32-64 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/210198492_Endsley_M...
