OODA loop

OODA loop
Diagram of a decision cycle known as the Boyd cycle, or the OODA loop Overview[edit] The OODA loop has become an important concept in litigation,[1] business[2] and military strategy. According to Boyd, decision-making occurs in a recurring cycle of observe-orient-decide-act. Boyd developed the concept to explain how to direct one's energies to defeat an adversary and survive. Boyd’s diagram shows that all decisions are based on observations of the evolving situation tempered with implicit filtering of the problem being addressed. The second O, orientation – as the repository of our genetic heritage, cultural tradition, and previous experiences – is the most important part of the O-O-D-A loop since it shapes the way we observe, the way we decide, the way we act. As stated by Boyd and shown in the “Orient” box, there is much filtering of the information through our culture, genetics, ability to analyze and synthesize, and previous experience.

Knowledge management framework At this stage we have had a look at the components and definitions that related to knowledge management (KM). This section deals with knowledge management frameworks and models. The old saying that a picture paints a thousand words is very much applicable in this case. A good model can integrate various elements and show relationships in a way that is much harder to do in writing. But first, what are the components of a knowledge management framework? Identification of needs Identification of knowledge resources Acquisition, creation, or elimination of knowledge related resources/processes/environments Retrieval, application and sharing of knowledge Storage of knowledge It is important to note that none of these processes are independent and all of them are affected by countless factors. For instance, some models are sequential (as above), and seek to provide a better overview at the expense of "realism". What/How Why When

The 33 Strategies of War Reception In the book Greene reveals that "Afghanistan was rich in natural gas and other minerals and had ports on the Indian Ocean".[14] The political tales in the book are said to be "mostly foolish or just plain wrong".[15] The book has "far too many duff sentences",[5] for example: "Your goal is to blend philosophy and war, wisdom and battle, into an unbeatable blend. It has sold more than 200,000 copies.[17] See also References Notes Jump up ^ Greene, Robert, "The 33 Strategies of War", Viking Adult, 2006Jump up ^ "The 33 Strategies of War, by Robert Greene". External links 33 Strategies of War interview featuring Robert Greene Mentors Town The 48 Laws of Power Background[edit] Greene initially formulated some of the ideas in The 48 Laws of Power while working as a writer in Hollywood and concluding that today's power elite shared similar traits with powerful figures throughout history.[5] In 1995, Greene worked as a writer at Fabrica, an art and media school, and met a book packager named Joost Elffers.[4][8] Greene pitched a book about power to Elffers and six months later, Elffers requested that Greene write a treatment.[4] Although Greene was unhappy in his current job, he was comfortable and saw the time needed to write a proper book proposal as too risky.[10] However, at the time Greene was rereading his favorite biography about Julius Caesar and took inspiration from Caesar's decision to cross the Rubicon River and fight Pompey, thus inciting the Great Roman Civil War.[10] Greene would follow Caesar's example and write the treatment, which later became The 48 Laws of Power.[10] He would note this as the turning point of his life.[10]

Knowledge Associates - SKA Digital strategy In the fields of strategic management, marketing strategy and business strategy, digital strategy is the process of specifying an organization's vision, goals, opportunities and initiatives in order to maximize the business benefits of digital initiatives to the organization.

March 2008 Ikujiro Nonaka,Ryoko Toyama,Noboru Konno Hirotaka Takeuchi present a model for knowledge creation they think that knowledge creation consists of three elements1 SECI2 ba3 knowledge assets According to them there are two types of knowledge explicit and tacit. Explicit knowledge is knowledge which can be stored in the form of data and can be expressed in the words, in the form of scientific formulae this knowledge is very easily transferable to other individuals and can be shared. .[ Ikujiro Nonaka 2005] Tacit knowledge is a knowledge which can not be transferable easily to other individuals because it’s highly personal its an reflection of intuitions, individuals own experience and skills. .[ Ikujiro Nonaka 2005] They also mentioned that western epistemology only consider explicit knowledge but both knowledge explicit an tacit are important for the creation of knowledge, without tacit knowledge explicit knowledge losses its meaning.

Géoéconomie Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La géoéconomie est une branche des relations internationales, au croisement des sciences économiques et de la géopolitique. Selon Pascal Lorot, « la géoéconomie analyse les stratégies d'ordre économique – notamment commerciales –, décidées par les États dans le cadre de politiques visant à protéger leur économie nationale ou certains pans bien identifiés de celle-ci, à aider leurs "entreprises nationales" à acquérir la maîtrise de technologies et/ou à conquérir certains segments du marché mondial relatifs à la production ou à la commercialisation d'un produit ou d'une gamme de produits sensibles, en ce que leur possession ou leur contrôle confère à son détenteur – État ou entreprise "nationale" – un élément de puissance et de rayonnement international et concourt au renforcement de son potentiel économique et social. »[1] Bibliographie[modifier | modifier le code] Solberg Søilen, Klaus (2012).
