However not necessarily you have to follow all steps in the OODA process, you can make your decision quick & dirty(vite et grossièrement) Analysis and/or implementation aimed at quickly getting to the essential .

30. How do you manage a decision making process ? What is process ? It is all and nothing . But what matters for you is the all part All means that before you get down into a decision making phase, you know your facts, you have trained, you have rehearsed every single part of the act, you are ready to take it on the chin, you may be perplexed but will surmount your doubts, you are ready to stand up to an argument, you will be funny, you will be dead serious, you will ignore the ignorable and the ignorant, you are prepared to take upon yourself the responsability of making a decision, the best under the circumstances you will, you shall, you can Be yourself at your best

31. Keep in mind how a decision making process works, the multifacet variances that may surface & the psycological aleas that may interfere . ad posteriora (after the fact), somehow, somewhere, someone would, under the same circumstances you were in, have taken a better decision than you did. It happens. So what ? Are you going to throw in the towel beforehand ? No, keep on going and decide keep out of the equation the “ifs”, “buts” and “muts”. Get away from that ever strangling , interfering, nuisance, pessimistic mind clogging “if”.... No “mumbo-jumbo” do not compete with “him/her”, the phantom mistery adversary (he/she do not exist, they are a figment of your imagination) beat “him/her”, the phantom mistery adversary.
