The OODA loop strategy is a decision-making process designed to facilitate quick and efficient problem-solving before your threat can. The OODA Loop model is a four-point decision loop that supports quick, effective and proactive decision-making. The four stages of the Loop are:
Observe – collect current information from as many sources as practically possible.
Orient – analyze this information, and use it to update your current reality.
Decide – determine a course of action.
Act – follow through on your decision.
You continue to cycle through the OODA Loop by observing the results of your actions, assessing whether you’ve achieved the results that you intended, reviewing and revising your initial decision, and moving to your next action.
You continue to cycle through the OODA Loop as you receive new information or if you need to assess the consequences of your actions, until you reach your desired result.
The model is particularly helpful if you need to make quick, nimble decisions. Doing this will help you to stay one step ahead of your threat and take advantage of opportunities that they might have missed.
By doing this you cause a change in your threat’s OODA loop giving you some time while he creates a new OODA loop.
