The term Think Tank 2.0 was first coined by security expert Mike Tanji in this blog post and argues for the formation of digitally distributed think tanks to address modern international security and policy issues.  The OODA approach is decidedly virtual in order to expand the scope and depth of our research projects.  It is an approach the OODA Founders are quite comfortable with, having started a Think Tank 2.0 in 1996 with the formation of the TRC.

OODA draws upon the lessons of nearly 15 years of operation with a commitment to developing resources that reside in the public domain.  For example, OODA utilizes Web 2.0 technologies and cutting-edge collaboration spaces to advance our mission.  It also extends the OODA network into any location that has an Internet connection which enhances the diversity and experience of our research teams.

Here are some other examples of Think Tanks or non-profit organizations that could qualify as Think Tank 2.0 entities:

• ThreatsWatch
• Small Wars Journal
• Cyberconflict Studies Association
