Find opportunities — and win them.

Rich Sawchak, chief executive of Systems Planning & Analysis, describes how companies like SPA have incorporated faster timelines into their analysis and operational work as artificial intelligence increasingly enters the equation.

Systems Planning & Analysis touts itself as a technical services provider charged with “helping clients move from strategy to action faster,” a tagline that also helps explain how mission timelines are shrinking fast.

Rich Sawchak, chief executive of Systems Planning & Analysis, joins for this episode to describe how companies like SPA have incorporated those faster timelines into how they support efforts in areas like simulation and countering unmanned aerial systems.

Artificial intelligence is of course entering the equation in those areas and more. In talking with our Ross Wilkers, Sawchak overviews where AI is being implemented full-steam ahead and places where these technologies are still hitting barriers.

One major theme of this conversation: SPA and all technical advisory services providers have to do more than just provide advice and knowledge to their clients on how to solve their problems.
