Systems Planning & Analysis

Strategy, Policy, and Doctrine Development is one of SPA's long-time core capabilities. This work formulates, analyzes, and refines comprehensive plans and frameworks that guide our government clients in achieving long-term goals and objectives. Strategy focuses on overarching goals and the broad, long-term plans to achieve them. Policy refers to the specific principles or rules that dictate decision-making and operational actions. Doctrine is the body of formalized principles and best practices that guide tactical and operational activities, often based on experience, tradition, and established knowledge from SPA Fellows Bill Hoeft, Ed Stewart, Len Zentz, and Thomas Troyano, along with a legion of SMEs. Through these elements, SPA helps ensure our clients effectively pursue their national security missions.   Learn about all our capabilities at spa.com/capabilities #WeAreSPA #NationalSecurity #Strategy #Policy #MissionEffectiveness #SPACapabilities
