* OBSERVE changes in the environment in real time… while aggressively avoiding your own strong tendency to just see what you either expect or hope to see
* ORIENT yourself quickly to what those changes mean… being careful to challenge and revise your outdated assumptions and beliefs about reality
* DECIDE on a course of action… chosen from range of creative alternatives most relevant to the changing environment
* ACT in a coordinated and committed manner… while being ready to OBSERVE, ORIENT, DECIDE and ACT in order to ensure progress and enable course corrections as necessary.
