Shift Happens is a very interesting video. The only constant is change and preparing for it is difficult. The thing is that it is really, really, difficult to figure out how the future will play out in 20 years or even 10. There are just so many factors that come into play.

None the less, I think it is important to have a plan and then to continually update and adjust as new information becomes available.

This is an amazing video especially what you say here "During the first week of June the JSC 20 year vision was presented to the JSC Leadership team. Not only was it well received but we discovered activities being conducted in each of the directorates that are moving the Center towards a more open, collaborative, innovative, integrated organization. We also discovered there was a great deal of synergy between the 20 year vision tactics and a set of engagement teams that Mike Coats' Innovation Council was considering deploying."

The only reason Armstrong walked on the Moon was that two consecutive presidents had the notion to complete what Kennedy began. If Nixon had pulled the plug based upon his loss to Kennedy in 1960, Apollo would've ended after those stunning Christmas Eve videos.

In my perfect world, NASA would be able to choose its own direction based solely upon scientific concerns; the administrator would give Congress a yearly report on goals, discoveries, and progress, and serious multigenerational achievements could be reached.

With regard to Brians comments, I've often wondered about this myself.

After my visit to Kennedy Space Center I always wondered why there couldn't also be a second shuttle on standby ready to go in emergencies.

I'm sure it would make those going into space feel much safer knowing there was at least the possibility of backup should a problem occur.

After all there is more than one shuttle .. I'm sure there's a good reason why this doesn't happen and I'm just ignorant to the facts.

Question.... We have built several space shuttles. Why cant we leave one attached to the space Shuttle for a Possible escape incase the space station has a emergency? Catch a ride back with the soviets when they return.Nasa is going to scrub shuttle missions in the near future why turn the retired shuttle into one expensive lawn Jockey. I'm sure in outer space the shuttle can still serve a purpose for many years to come as a safety feature to the space station. Plus you would save tax payers Money.

In my experience of organizational change, best results have been achieved by running organizational change as a competition. May sound ridiculous but it's very powerful.

Create teams and assign each team with a "change initiative". Where possible try and mix each team with persons from different divisions so as to simultaneously build on organizational culture.

As most belong to multiple projects or strategic teams, the difficulty is getting employee "buy-in" to belong to yet another team. That's where an incentive is essential.

One idea is to host an end of year event / show that presents all the teams efforts - ie the "Change Grammies'. All employees get dressed up like the Grammies and present their organizational change initiatives. All employees then vote at the end of the night as to which group achieved the greatest impact. The winning team is provided with a reward (ie an outdoor adventure or something out of the square).

Knowing their efforts will be presented at a large show in front of a large audience is in itself an incentive to 'make things happen' and also creates a bit of frenzy / excitement company wide as people start to talk about what they're doing.

The progress of each of the teams should be mapped quarterly so that interest is generated across the organization and after the event, the results and team achievements promoted company wide. Using humor to report progress throughout the year and humor in the end of year presentations will help make the event a huge success.
