OODA loop?

• edmundsauto 3y ago
  This mindset is more useful in a competitive environment where you want to cycle new information in a faster loop than your opponent. Thinking about it, I’m not sure it would be that valuable in my typical corporate experience - no outer loops to get inside of. Maybe my managers so I can stay a step ahead?

    Observe situation as it is, Orient yourself and resources in this new situation, Decide on next action, Act. The application is identical. TFA just renames it to Aim Fire Scan with an even more conflict-oriented sequence name. The main "get inside the loop" takeaway from OODA is just "Be agile and respond quickly to outcomes" rather than "March forward on your original plan", when applied in a non-competitive environment. Same schtick, different pile.

  > OODA loop? Observe, Overreact, Deny, Apologise? [Edit]. Just kidding. OODA is foundational.

      See sibling comment for a good definition. OODA is the repetitive loop of observing, understanding, planning and executing. The military talk about getting inside the enemy's OODA loop, by which they mean having a faster decision-making cycle. But back in the network-enabled-capability day, they also used to talk about self-synchronising units operating on the cusp of tactical anarchy, but then Afghanistan happened and they had a collective sense-of-humour failure regarding these future operational concepts.
