As we begin to ramp up for OODAcon 2023 (October 25th in Reston, VA), we return to Matt’s opening comments from OODAcon 2022.  Find the full transcript below, as well as a link to the audio file.  Matt’s slides are also integrated into the transcript. Matt’s opening comments feel like they could have been put together and delivered yesterday  – and still, be timely and chock full of remarkably prescient insights – all delivered in Matt’s open, informed, accessible, inimitable low-key style.  It is remarkable how Matt’s personal and professional experience, his synthesis of the work and conversations of the OODA Network, and the research tracking insights from the OODA Loop site all come together in this brief welcome address from October 2022.
