Briefing and Planning for Uncertainty

Resources for applying Martial Models

Brady here. Colin Nagy and I are leading a workshop today at 4As StratFest 2019 in New York City entitled, “How to Brief and Plan for Uncertainty: Lessons Creative Leaders Can Learn from Green Berets.”

In order to give attendees an opportunity to dig deeper on some of our topics, I’ve listed all the relevant Quartermaster posts below. 

• The Operations Order: The Most Well Worn Martial Model

• Commander’s Intent: Communicate Why

• Backbriefing: How Green Berets Reduce Confusion

• Rehearsals: The Key to Execution

• After Action Review: A Critical Growth Practice

• Army Aviation AARs: The Masters (halfway down the post)

And if you’re interested, here are three of the Greatest Hits our readers seem to like the most:

• SMARCH

• Dealing with Information Overload: Filtering or Focusing?

• Atmospherics Lesson: Exit Your Bubble

Thanks for reading, and I hope you’re able to apply some of these tools in your work.
