Conceptual Meta-Models: An Example Correlating Anthony’s Triangle to the OODA Loop, the Deming Cycle, and the SDLC

Abstract

Models are highly adaptable constructs. It is helpful to consider them in a solitary fashion as well as related to each other. A conceptual meta-model is an adaptable point-of-us application. In practice, the most successful models are simple and easy to portray. This presents an example of combining Anthony’s Triangle with, the mutex of Colonel Boyd’s OODA loop, Deming’s Deming Cycle, and the ubiquitous Software Development Life Cycle when applied to an Analytics project’s planning phase to successfully identify scope and methodology for the target audience. The end result is a continued appeal to the community to develop a sound set of core models that can be used for brainstorming with a broad base of professional understanding.
