Season 1 episode 10 of the Operational Arch is part two of our conversation with guest Dr. Jim Greer as he takes us on a deep dive into John Boyd and his Patterns of Conflict. We continue our conversation on how we should engage Boyd, and explores how John Warden's Five Rings theory collates with Boyd's theories. Boyd and Warden's theories remain complimentary in that they take a systems approach to understanding warfare, and may well be last pair of military theorists whose ideas substantively impacted how the U.S. Army conducts operations. Dr. Greer is currently a professor at the Advanced Military Studies Program. He served thirty years in the US Army, commanded at all levels from platoon through Brigade, is a prior director of SAMS, and is a veteran of six combat tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and the Balkans. Dr. Greer retired as a COL and holds a Doctorate in Education from Walden University.

Season 1 episode 9 of the Operational Arch is part one of our conversation with guest Dr. Jim Greer as he takes us on a deep dive into John Boyd and his Patterns of Conflict. He explains how we tend to get caught up in Boyd's OODA loop, often at the expense of Boyd's other insights into the nature and character of conflict. He explores the concept of the OODA loop as a point of departure and offers a perspective we should think about and employ Boyd's theories in a more complete way to help make sense of complexity and find advantage.

The character of warfare has consistently changed over time, with technology evolving from edged weapons, bows and arrows, gunpowder, and battlefield mechanization, to more advanced technologies today, including long-range precision weapons, robotics, and autonomy.

Scott Jackman from Deveron talks with Aaron Breimer from Veritas Farm Management about objective decision making in agriculture. They discuss how precision agriculture seeks to increase objective decision making.Over the next couple episodes, we will be talking about decision making. There are two broad types of decision making. Subjective decision making - which relies of experience and gut feeling. And objective decision making - which relies on quantifiable data and facts.Both types of decision making are used in agriculture. Traditionally, growers have used subjective decision making relying on their experience and their gut feeling to make decisions. This is ok. And it has gotten growers to be able to produce food and survive in up and down markets. However, precision agriculture seeks to bring more objective decision making by mapping and recording data to enable decision making.And for a completely different perspective, I will be talking with COL retired Jim Greer from the US Army to discuss subjective decision-making in a future episode.OutlineDefining objective and subjective decision makingWhat are some differences?Gut & Experience vs dataRepeatable with a high level of confidenceWhy is important to know about these differences?Helps us recognize preconceived notions about our operationHelps us recognize where we may be making a decision based off of experience as opposed to the data that is right in front of us.What is the value of objective decision making?In what ways is it useful to improve agriculture?Small ball wins - from Money BallWhat opportunities are easily adaptable with little to no investmentWhy is it difficult to do objective decision making in agriculture?InteractionsSoil has physical, chemical and biological components that all interact with each otherIt is a different way of thinking - emotions come into playEvery field is unique Farmers who comment - that is interesting, “but that isn’t my field”Advanced statisticsThis is not easyWhat is more important - yields or economicsHow do we incorporate this type of decision making into agriculture?Step 1 - need to have a willingness to do betterStep 2 - start analyzing your dataLay out a strategyMake a decision and start making improvements - Be willing to take a risk.
