> I've been reading a lot about John Boyd and the OODA loop,
Care to share your reading list? I've read the Coram biography and really enjoyed it, but it's understandably light on details of how to apply OODA to things like business.

There's also sort of an "anthology" book on Boyd/OODA called Science, Strategy, and War by Osinga.
You can find some other random content on dnipogo.org and in the web archive for belisarius.com (I don't know why this is down now).
When reading about Boyd and his ideas, I think it's best to focus on the core concepts and reason about applications yourself. He built his philosophy bottom up (he was originally a fighter pilot). Examples like in Certain to Win are looking for parallels that exist coincidentally... or perhaps a better word is patterns ( http://www.dnipogo.org/boyd/patterns_ppt.pdf )
