Episode 38: Mission Control - Building An Internal Nervous System With Data With Ben Ford

In this week’s episode, I am joined by the CEO of Mission Control, Ben Ford. He shares his journey from disciplined military life to the forefront of technology innovation. We cover the transformational strategies of bringing military precision to business decision-making, the value of 'social technology' in managing tech complexities, and how leaders can champion a high-performance culture without the risks of burnout. Ben's unique perspective is not just fascinating; it's a blueprint for managing chaos in the corporate world. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a masterclass in leveraging technology for organizational agility and performance.   Reach out: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/commandodev X: https://twitter.com/commandodev Web: https://missionctrl.dev/   The OODA Loop: https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/computer-science/the-ooda-loop   Episode Highlights: (1:51) Ben's background and journey to developing Mission Control (4:16) Understanding the internal nervous system in leadership (6:46) Challenges in processing and filtering information (10:22) Example of automation in a fintech company (14:40) Importance of real-time dashboards (18:06) Overcoming challenges in data overload (19:36) Success story of a team in a standard chartered bank (23:34) Reasons behind the slow adoption of internal nervous systems (28:05) Recommendations for staying current on internal nervous system development (32:45) The OODA Loop (35:42) Outro Follow and Subscribe to Jimmy Burroughes LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyburroughes/ Website: https://www.jimmyburroughes.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimmybleadership/   ---------- Beat Burnout - Ignite Performance is now available to download.
