Mastering the OODA Loop: A Comprehensive Guide to Managing Risk and Making Informed Decisions



Course Overview

This comprehensive course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to master the OODA Loop, a decision-making framework developed by Colonel John Boyd. Through interactive and engaging lessons, participants will learn how to apply the OODA Loop in various contexts to manage risk and make informed decisions.



Course Objectives

  • Understand the fundamentals of the OODA Loop and its application in decision-making
  • Develop the ability to observe, orient, decide, and act in a rapidly changing environment
  • Learn how to manage risk and uncertainty using the OODA Loop
  • Improve decision-making skills through hands-on projects and real-world applications
  • Receive a certificate upon completion issued by The Art of Service
