10. The OODA Supermodel

No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. So how can you execute on your plans in a dynamic, changing environment?

Jeremy Thomas and Myron Weber discuss how John Boyd’s OODA Loop mental supermodel can be applied within the context of the 6 Stage Strategy to Execution model.

• Willingness to adapt is critical to executing your plan.
• Agile decision making increases the speed of execution while decreasing, not increasing the chaos.
• Treating decisions and actions as the testing of hypotheses allows you to flex within the plan rather than throwing away the plan when the environment changes.
