OODAcon 2022 and Periods of Economic Downturn as a Climate for Innovation Discussed by the June 2022 OODA Network Member Meeting

To help members optimize opportunities and reduce risk, OODA hosts a monthly video call to discuss items of common interest to our membership. These highly collaborative sessions are always a great way for our members to meet and interact with each other while talking about topics like global risks, emerging technologies, cybersecurity, and current or future events impacting their organizations. We also use these sessions to help better focus our research and better understand member needs. To encourage openness of discussion, these sessions take place with Chatham House rules, where participants are free to use the information in the meeting but are asked not to directly quote or identify other participants (we also keep privacy in mind when preparing summaries of these sessions, like the one that follows).

The June call was held on Friday, June 17th.   The call began with an announcement by OODA CEO Matt Devost about OODAcon 2022 to be held on October 18, 2022.   Topics discussed on the call included:   Is the World Going into an Economic Slowdown?; Cybersecurity and Innovation during an Economic Downturn; Cybersecurity:  Entrepreneurial Management and Business Model Innovation; The Quantum Computing, Quantum Communications, and Quantum Security Markets; and General Feedback from the OODA Network on Topics, Filtering, and Curation of Future OODA Loop Research.  Links and Resources from the Meeting Chat are also included in this post.
