Boyd and the OODA loop Recommended reading for anyone interested in competitive strategy and crisis leadership:
Boyd – The fighter pilot who changed the art of war(image source: Amazon) - My SHELFARI review:
This is an excellent read for anyone interested in competitive situations. It seems Boyd had the art of stating the problem in clear terms, such as, the (defence) facts of life, the aerial attack study and a fighter pilots job is to be a 'hoser'. The book is inspiring for anyone who needs to get going - great saying -"Tiger, we are going to do some goddam good work" For a crisis management or BCM professional the concepts of entropy, operating tempo, the OODA loop and attendant German strategy concepts provide possible ways of thinking about the competitive environment and ways of working in a crisis. For a risk professional the being a 'someone' in an organisation or being a 'somebody' defines a choice of approach is available, and his maxim "you better be right" is definitely valid. The inner workings of the Pentagon are exposed and more importantly it shows that in a system some reasons why things are the way they are. The politics shape the solution and interests pull the solution in various ways. Why the UK ended up with the MRCA Tornado! I always thought the F4 Phantom was the meanest looking fighter and he shattered my illusions. In hindsight, why would the F4 looking like a block of flats turn quickly! Agility and technology rule in any competitive environment. Boyd shows the man is critical but the technology is the thing that provides the base capability (Fairy Battles against ME109's!). Boyd also seems to be an example of the rule "that amazing things are only achieved by unreasonable people" Definitely a recommended read.
The world has changed:• Market and volatility • Interconnectedness• Web and new media - speed• Modern management practices
• Speed and momentum of a story is very fast
• Pressure builds very quickly• There is a pressing need for
information• Difficult to co-ordinate
communications• Internal stakeholders looking for
guidance quickly• How to collaborate quickly• How to organise• Difficult to get advisors quickly• Not experienced at this• Stakes are very scary• Local versus global
“Capital markets are very quick to identify those that are not managing a crisis well”
We conclude that:72. Involvement of the Bank's Governors resulted in key issues such as the use of the contingency solutions, the content of press statements and the potential impact on 'real economy' transactions being considered and prioritised through the day.
73. The absence of a defined structure and process to improve situational awareness in support of the Governors meant that the specific issue regarding the timing of housing market transactions was not identified or escalated early enough. Combined with an
expectation that the incident would be resolved quickly, these factors influenced the decisions regarding the first media statement, and the decision not to invoke MIRS at an early stage.74. Whilst the Bank's press releases were limited and the initial press release may have been open to misinterpretation, overall the Bank's engagement with the media was considerable and this avoided uninformed or alarmist reporting.

The Panel recommends that triggers for escalation should be defined that are clear and ensure early deployment of the higher level command and control structures. Any forecast snow event of a material size should automatically trigger: •The implementation of the snow contingency process,including holding a snow contingency meeting , the mobilisation of the “snowcell” with BAA, airlines and their ground handlers, NATS and ACL representation. The snow cell, once activated should remain fully operational and functional until the event is over and operations have normalised. The snow cell should not be deactivated without a closing debriefing with stakeholders; •The notification of non-operational staff and contractors that they may be called up (subject to prior contractual agreement); •The invocation of the Bronze, Silver or Gold Command depending on the nature and expected severity of the event; •The mobilisation of the Capacity Constraints Group as soon as it is clear that
