Why the house we have built may be outrunning our ability to repair it.
Welcome to the annual gathering of hackers, thinkers, strategists, disruptors, leaders, technologists, and creators exploring how accelerating technology is reshaping the world.
From Exponential Acceleration to Governable Action
Sovereignty is becoming a practical question for leaders navigating technological acceleration: who has the authority (and the actual capacity) to govern critical systems and sustain independent action?
A strategic prologue to OODAcon 2026: Escape Velocity
The central strategic question of Rod Beckstrom’s OODAcon 2026 session, The Starfish AI Model, is how can organizations distribute initiative while retaining the coordination needed to manage shared risks?
Artificial intelligence is expanding what organizations can do with geospatial data – from observing events and mapping assets to simulating outcomes and coordinating action. At OODAcon 2026, we will discuss the strategic opportunities ahead.
Competitive advantage now comes from how quickly our organizations can sense and act before conditions change again. Nowhere is this new competitive dynamic clearer than in the ongoing “re-architecting” of the transportation and logistics sub-sectors.
Every forecasting method fails the same way. Boyd’s OODA loop is built for that.
From fleets and ports to autonomous systems, seabed infrastructure, critical minerals, and subsea compute – maritime power is undergoing a transformation that extends far beyond traditional competition between navies.
The meeting began with a preview of OODAcon’s proposed agenda and developed into a broader discussion of technology convergence and governance.
From clinical sensing and pandemic preparedness to biological early warning, strategic competition, and the prospect of manufacturing beyond Earth. At OODACon 2026, we are taking up where AI and programmable biology are converging.
Artificial intelligence is changing more than who performs the work. Increasingly, autonomous systems are redistributing decision authority, organizational power, and opportunities for economic value. Leaders must assess those changes alongside employment displacement.
AI is a real monster under the bed. The bigger problem is the house it is standing in. On the morning of December 7, 1941, the Army in Hawaii was on the alert it called No. 1, which meant defense against sabotage. The fear behind it was vivid, local, and easy to understand. So the…
In Re-Anchoring the Cognitive Infrastructure of the United States – we examined organizations and frameworks that approach the problem from different directions. Still, all of their innovation efforts and policy interventions share an implicit premise: social media has always been remarkably problematic.
