Strategic Enterprise Management

NASA is organized into six Strategic Enterprises which function as primary business areas for implementing NASA's mission and serving its customers. Each Enterprise has a unique set of strategic goals, objectives, and implementation strategies that address the requirements of the Agency's primary customers.Each Enterprise draws on the capabilities of several Centers, while each Center contributes to multiple Enterprises.

Enterprise Management is responsible for establishing overall customer requirements and ensuring overall customer satisfaction throughout the Strategic Enterprises. They work with the Enterprise Associate Administrators to determine what each Enterprise does and why. In addition, they provide program definition (requirements, cross-program efficiency, and synergy). They are responsible for Enterprise-focused, long-term institutional investment strategy, integrated budget development, program resource allocation and performance assessment, Enterprise-specific policy and standards, and the implementation of NASA policy.

Through the Enterprises and Agency Management, NASA's highly skilled workforce, including scientists, engineers, technicians, and administrative and support professionals, and our world-class facilities represent the backbone of the Nation's civil research and development capabilities in aeronautics and space.
