"Space Operations Officers as Jazz Musicians"
“Meanwhile, we lose precious time and initiative to our enemies who are proficient in the art of Jazz. We do not have the time to compose a symphony, rehearse and play a flawless performance. Our audience, the operating environment, wants to hear us play Jazz and we must be better than the competition. Traditional planning gives us the time to learn while emergent decision making uses that time to execute inside of the enemy’s decision cycle. In short, be a team player; create opportunities for others. Educate yourself; broaden your appreciation of the Operating Environment. Practice on real problems; create real solutions. Tolerate mistakes. Act on instinct. Take advice to heart. Focus more on what just happened and less on the future. Play jazz”
