OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act)

The OODA Loop is a decision-making process used to respond effectively in dynamic situations. It involves four steps: Observe — gather information about the environment; Orient — analyze the information, considering your experience, factors, and context; Decide — choose the best course of action based on your understanding; Act — implement the decision. Then, you monitor the results, and the cycle repeats. This continuous loop helps individuals or organizations adapt quickly, stay ahead of changing circumstances, and make informed decisions rather than reacting impulsively.
