Not OP. Have you perused these references from the Wikipedia page for OODA loop? The reference to a “supposed slide set” sounds interesting; perhaps that is what you’re alluding to regarding source material being hard to find?

They also mention a video by Chet Richards and how it relates OODA to business context.

The Q&A with both Chet Richards and Chuck Spinney is also worth a look:
