OODA Loop (PowerPoint PPTX)

DESCRIPTION

Military strategists apply their training and experience to devise battle plans aimed at achieving specific objectives. By applying military strategies, many organizations have successfully captured markets, contested their opponents, and accomplished strategic goals.

Colonel John Boyd is one of the most renowned military strategists, whose theories and principles have attracted widespread adoption in the military as well as the business world. Colonel Boyd has several military theories to his credit, including The Aerial Attack Study, Abstract for Discourse on Winning and Losing.

This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the most famous literary work of John Boyd—the OODA Loop. The OODA Loop is a process by which an individual or an organization reacts to an event and makes a timely decision.
The OODA model constitutes a 4-step decision loop that helps make prompt and effective decisions. The steps of the OODA loop are:

1. Observe – entails gathering as much pertinent data as possible.
2. Orient – involves analyzing the data gathered.
3. Decide – entails choosing a course of action.
4. Act – involves implementing the decision.

The Decision Making process, according to John Boyd, works as a recurring cycle of observe, orient, decide, and act. Practice and preparation are at the heart of the OODA Loop and integral to succeeding in a scenario. The OODA Loop can also be a powerful framework for devising strategies to overpower rivals in competitive settings.

This PowerPoint presentation on the OODA Loop also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
