During the war against Al Qaeda in Iraq, General Stanley McChrystal had a realization. Conventional, bureaucratic tactics used by the United States military were failing against an enemy that was more agile and decentralized.

So, he flipped the way the US operations were being run to a trust-based model with decentralized decision-making and teams that were empowered by information and intelligence. As a result, he and his team were credited with the death of the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq at that time.

In the first episode of The Intel by Auror podcast series, join Auror CEO Phil Thomson as he chats with General McChrystal about why and how that approach worked for the US military - and how it can work for retail Asset Protection/Loss Prevention (AP/LP) too as they address Organized Retail Crime (ORC).
