Via Bleeding Green Nation, an article that connects military thought to Chip Kelly's innovative football ideas: "...once you look behind the glitz and glamour of Kelly's offense, it becomes clear that speed is just a byproduct of a much larger innovation."

Points:

  • "...it wasn't the best equipment or the number of soldiers that defined a Great General, but rather their ability to quickly adapt and out-maneuver an enemy."
  • "...conflict was just a series of decision loops."
The article mentioned most decisions in battle happen instantaneously. This sounds similar to Gary Klein's ideas about Recognition-Primed Decision-making (RPD) where the decision-maker cycles through patterns until he or she finds a familiar pattern to apply to a situation. This is an instantaneous process.
