Inside View: A War Room Can Be Heaven

Abstract

In the military, a war room is the central collection point for intelligence information about the enemy that needs to be analyzed. Then, after senior officers review analyses of the information and formulate battle plans, they send orders out from the war room to all relevant battle groups. Those orders go to a small group of commanders, who in turn deploy those under their command in a way consistent with the orders from above. As the orders cascade down through lower levels of the organization, they become more detailed operationally, and the measures of success become more concrete.
