What happens when we explore the fascinating world of John Boyd's methodology and the impact his OODA loop has had on managing programs, teams, and decision-making?
Join us in an insightful conversation with Dr. Kuan Collins as we uncover the secrets of Boyd's work and how it has influenced her life and career. From discovering Boyd's handwritten notes in bookstores to discussing his marked-up copy of Warfighting and his paper Destruction and Creation, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom.
We also dive into the five obstructionists that Greg Larkin identifies when it comes to transformation or disruption of the status quo. Learn how to overcome skeptics, cops, traditionalists, terror territorialists, and capitalists using John Boyd's definitions of evil and corruption. Kuan shares her valuable insights on the significance of innovation and the power of embracing discomfort and design for growth.
Tune in as we discuss empathy, humility, and navigating change in various environments. We'll also explore the origins and mission of our Intersections podcast, highlighting the value of multidimensional thinking to cultivate understanding of innovation and the human being behind it. Listen in to be inspired by Kuan's journey
