How Effective Is YOUR OODA Loop?

Written by Cynthia Kyriazis


What IS an OODA loop? John R. Boyd was a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot active duringrepparttar 1950's. Inrepparttar 136534 1970's he helped designrepparttar 136535 F-16 and then went on to promote a concept calledrepparttar 136536 OODA loop.

OODA stands for Observation, Orientation, Decision and Action. This is a basic pattern for how we make tactical decisions. Col. Boyd is credited with coining this term, originating and promotingrepparttar 136537 concept which has become a strategic centerpiece for multiple military campaigns.

Many acknowledge thatrepparttar 136538 OODA loop concept is just as powerful in business as it is inrepparttar 136539 military. But it is just as powerful and simplistic a tool for an individual as it is for these larger venues. Particularly when it comes to decreasingrepparttar 136540 downtime of employees…particularly revenue producing employees.

Ray Curts and Douglas Campbell, they state that "The dilemma ofrepparttar 136541 decision maker withinrepparttar 136542 OODA loop is largely a problem of data collection, storage, retrieval, manipulation and comparison." Isn't this equally true of someone who is sitting at their desk trying to work through their day of endless interruptions and shifting priorities while chipping away at their assignments or projects? The 'collection, storage, retrieval and manipulation…' of information directly contributes to our cluttered and stressed work environment. While trying to practicerepparttar 136543 steps needed to close our own OODA loop, we tend to stumble.
