Improving the Quality and Use of Analysts and Analytics in the Department of Defense

Abstract

On August 22, 2019, the Principal Deputy Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) engaged the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) to assess the current state of analytics to support senior decision makers in the Department of Defense (DOD), identify best practices and areas of deficiency, and make concrete recommendations for actions that could be taken to raise the standard of analytic excellence throughout the Department. Because some form of analysis is or could be used to support virtually every major decision that the DOD makes, maintaining a high quality of analysis is critical to the successful accomplishment of the missions and objectives of the Department.
