In the pop-culture tactical world today it's common to see Col. Boyd's Decision Cycle, the famed "OODA Loop", applied to individuals and their actions, but indeed it has its origins as an institutional concept. If you need to solve problems as a team, or even an institution, it's important to know how it applies to group tactics and operations. In this episode Mike and Jim dive into just that. Institutional knowledge and memory are what gets used to solve problems, and that's why it's important for an organization to select compulsive problem-solvers as members. Everyone is going to bring their own viewpoint based on their specialty, but it's important for them to know when the problem is outside of their specialty, as well as how they can contribute when it's time to get…unconventional. Tune in to learn how to teach your team the difference.
