Due to the nature of the Info-Ops series, many of the concepts translate directly over into other fields where the result is information, knowledge, or new skill acquisition. Public education is one of these. The following ideas are developed at length in the series and shown here
Habits Over Goals
Perhaps the most counter-intuitive concept out of many in the Info-Ops books is that habits can get goals accomplished in a context environment but the reverse is not true. Goal-focused management and knowledge work tends to hand-wave over the details of how that goal is to be accomplished, and for good reasons. Each type of knowledge goal has vastly-different ways of being accomplished, and it varies by student, project, culture, and so forth.
Instead, a system of habits should be created and honed that will allow widely-different intellectual goals to be accomplished. These habits should be the focus, not the goals themselves. Focusing on the wrong thing has been called "Trying to play tennis by watching the scoreboard"
