Priniciples
A Governance Framework Built on Interdependent Conditions
The SHIRPA™ name itself embodies key principles upon which the framework is built.
SHIRPA Principles are decision-guiding rules that inform how programs are designed, operated, and evaluated.
“Each principle represents a necessary behavior for trust, predictability, and sustained performance. Weakness in any one principle creates negative pressure on the others.”
