Research abstract

Cypress Resources, Inc. (Cypress) is developing a Strategy Operating System called StratAAS™. StratAAS™ is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven operating system for strategy, including governance, automated strategic budgeting requests, AI-driven requirements documentation, and fully-integrated digital dashboarding. StratAAS™ calculates and optimizes FTE resources required for strategy execution, improves operational efficiency, reduces labor on redundant tasks, and provides clarity for completed commitments. According to the 2018 National Defense Strategy Commission Report, the DOD struggles to connect strategic objectives to the operational concepts, capabilities, program, and resources needed to achieve success. "This deficit in analytical capability, expertise, and processes is intolerable in an organization responsible for such complex, expensive, and important tasks, and it must be remedied." (Providing-for-the-common-defense.pdf pg 42*) Since 2010, Cypress has been both utilizing and refining the StratAAS™ with commercial clients. We have sold custom StratAAS™ implementation services for 12 years. Our total revenues for Cypress implementing elements of StratAAS™ to date are over $12.1M, including implementing StratAAS™ into our highlighted client below over the past 36 months. We plan to add additional StratAAS™ services this year that will likely double our most recent 12 months of StratAAS™ revenue.   The effective implementation of new operational concepts is urgently needed within the DoD. Operational concepts constitute the essential link between strategic objectives, capabilities, and budgetary priorities needed to advance them. Using an operating system to implement these operational concepts is the most-effective way to achieve and measure desired outcomes. "We believe that the NDS points the Department of Defense (DOD) and the country in the right direction, but it does not adequately explain how we should get there." "The United States needs more than just new capabilities; it urgently requires new operational concepts that expand U.S. options and constrain those of China, Russia, and other actors." "Making informed decisions about strategic, operational, and force development issues requires a foundation of state-of-the-art analytical capabilities. In the course of our work, we found that DOD struggled to link objectives to operational concepts to capabilities to programs and resources. This deficit in analytical capability, expertise, and processes is intolerable in an organization responsible for such complex, expensive, and important tasks, and it must be remedied.”
