You make about 30K decisions a day!

How to choose wisely. OODA Loops PDF + Memetics + What a community team does!

SUMMARY

In this email, I’ll give you something to read over the weekend! I'll share a PDF on OODA Loops and explain why decision cycles are important. Then, I'll share some writings on Memetics in a Twitter thread.

IDEA 01: OODA LOOPS

Here is your copy of Boyd’s OODA Loop (It’s Not What You Think). You’ll enjoy reading it because decision cycles are a universal lever, and that's why OODA Loops are so important.

1. It’s a way of looking at how people act in their environment

2. A strategy for operating in uncertainty

3. A tool to manipulate time

4. A method to deploy limited resources for maximum effect

If you can help your team to minimize their reaction time to tactical problems, train leaders to make sound and timely decisions, and understand and interrupt the competitor’s decisions cycle, you gain the advantage. If a competitor is experiencing uncertainty or confusion and does not act, he gives the enemy willing to observe and act the advantage.

IDEA 02: 🧵Memetics

People don't have ideas. Ideas have people.

🅱︎🅴🅽 🗣️📢 "Competitors can't copy community!" @benohanlon

🧵 Memetics (via @loopuleasa) You have been exposed to The Meta-meme People don't have ideas. Ideas have people. A meme is any information that can be copied by others in some way. Patterns of information that can indirectly influence their surroundings.

IDEA 03: What does a Community Team do?

1. It drives organizational value through the community

2. It listens and brings problems or friction (opportunities) to the organization. 

3. It then brings solutions (products) to the community from the organization.

4. To the community, it represents the company. To the company, it represents the community. It must have both of their interests in mind at all times.

How does a Community Team listen?

I think the best visual for this comes from Richard Millington’s post on LinkedIn.

Thanks for reading.

I’m working on an innovation framework for building communities in Web3 which I intend to share in the near future and workshop it. I’ll let you know more about that soon.
