22. We see a gap between where we are now and this vision.

23. Wed like organizations to collaborate across division lines and not just internally.

24. Wed like better integration between centers and programs.

25. Wed like JSC to be a place known for its innovative approach to the NASA mission.

26. Were talking about a new approach to a new Johnson Space Center.

27. To implement this vision, we will engage the community and demonstrate innovation and collaboration.

28. & Facilitate discussions between ALL levels of the center to communicate our vision, Further develop and then implement innovative, value-added tactics. Over the next 12 months, we will simultaneously:

29. Center-Wide Communication (cross-generational discussions)

30. Phase I: Discussion with JLT This vision will lead to increased work efficiency, organizational consistency, and an overall reduction of mission risk and cost. This will be demonstrated through a high level overview of tactics and how they can apply to multiple organizations. By communicating this, we hope to align JLT with the vision and gain support for phase II and phase III.

31. Phase II: Discussion with management This vision will lead to increased work efficiency, effectiveness of center operations, and leverage workforce potential. This will be demonstrated through the value of innovative tactics as applied to specific organizations. By communicating this, we hope to show value of the vision to the organization and encourage two-way communication.

32. Phase III: Discussion with everyone This vision will directly impact and connect employees to the bigger picture. This will be demonstrated by employee participation in tactic development which directly impacts his/her organization. By communicating this, we hope to encourage involvement in the center-wide implementation plan.

33. Tactic Implementation (a grassroots example of what this top-down approach can enable)

34. Strategic communications and implementation for Constellation. Standards and Requirements Development for Space Life Sciences. Technology portfolio management for Engineering. Training process improvements for MOD. Provide a strategy for the NASA.gov website to integrate 3000+ websites into one content management Utilization of new tools to help manage documents, communication, and knowledge transfer.
