A Discourse on Winning and Losing (1992)

"A Discourse" is a synthesis or anthology of the four briefings in the order above (Patterns through to Conceptual Spiral) with Destruction and Creation occupying first place in earlier briefings. Boyd then relegated to the end for ten years because he said it "turned off most audiences" (Hammond, P. 119). It seems to have finally found its place between The Strategic Game of ? and ? which was the intellectual link between it and Conceptual Spiral (Hammond, P. 156).

 
     
 

The Essence of Winning & Losing (1996)

Is a compressed revision of A Discourse along with the OODA Loop and previous work into five slides.
