The fundamentals of developing operational solutions for the government

This work guides professionals on how to use operations research to solve problems and capture opportunities for government customers.

The governments of modern democratic nations manage large complex societal operations to offer national defense, social services, infrastructure sustainment, law enforcement, monetary control, and other benefits for their citizens.

The United States government alone spends over $1 trillion per year on these discretionary activities.

Within all the spending, deliveries, and oversight, some operational needs require solutions to improve processes, architectures, technologies, and human factors.

Without such effective and comprehensive solutions, the most eloquent proposal for government work could end in defeat and the most well-funded government programs could yield operational disruptions and performance failures.
