Problem Solving Flashcards
Define the problem solving technique OCCS
OBSERVE THE PROBLEM,
CONSIDER A SOLUTION,
CHOOSE THE BEST,
SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Discuss the importance of the OODA LOOP and when it would be used
Created by Col John Boyd,
Defines a decision making process — when QUICK TIME is required ; engaging enemies ; last minute taskers
The goal is for this process to be second nature ; applicable to all decisions
Key components of the OODA LOOP
Observe
Orient
Decide
Act
What are the 8 steps of Problem solving ideology
Clarify the problem
Breakdown the problem
Set improvement targets
Determine the root cause
Develop countermeasures
See the measure through
Confirm results and process
Standardize successor process
Step #1
Clarify the Problem- confirm the task
Step #2
Break down the problem - define it ; break down any gaps
Step #3
Set improvement targets
Step #4
Determine the root cause of
~ Step #5 ~
Develop countermeasures
Step #6
See the countermeasures through
Step #7
Confirm the results and process - ID or Learn if we addressed the problem appropriately
Step #8
Standardize the successor process
What PS techniques fall similarly to the OBSERVE component of the OODA Loop
Clarify the Problem
Break Down the Problem
Set Improvement Targets
What PS techniques fall similarly to the ORIENT component of the OODA Loop
Set improvement targets
Determine the root cause
What PS techniques fall similarly to the DECIDE component of the OODA Loop
Develop Countermeasure
