Robert Gowin, Rudy Lindsey, Scott Kinder and Mike Pritts talk about the topic of "problem solving" which applies to aspects of transition from the military as well as tackling problems or challenges in the private sector. It could be accomplished through Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act or through the 6-Sigma approach of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control). Stay calm, create a solid plan, know the risks, mitigate them as much as possible, and execute your plan!
