When the means and ends are clear – think production lines, nuclear reactors, piloting an airplane – we can use orienting practices like Six Sigma, Toyota Production System, and even simple checklists to eliminate foreseeable defects.When either means or ends (or both!) are unclear – think startups, innovation teams, development and implementation of new technologies, and even unexpectedly complex tasks like “integrating across siloes” – we can use orienting practices like Lean Startup, Agile, and Consent-Based Decision-Making to harness collective wisdom and customer insight as we make calls.These aren’t strategies. They’re things we can do to do a better job of connecting strategy and execution.

Aside: there’s a reason why Orient is part of the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) Loop. Observe-Strategize-Decide-Act (OSDA) is basically the same as Observe-Make a PowerPoint-Maybe Decide-Don’t Act (OMAPMDDA).
