February 1995
Our Strategic Plan is critical to our ability to meet these challenges and deliver a vibrant aeronautics and space program that strengthens and inspires the Nation. The Plan is our top-level strategy. It articulates what we do, who our customers are, where we are going, and how we will get there. Furthermore, literally thousands of people have contributed their insights and expertise. More than 7,000 employees worked on the statement reflecting our Vision, Mission, and Values. NASA's Associate Administrators and Center Directors have been heavily involved, and we have reached out to our customers for their thoughts as well. The Senior Management Team will continue to be responsible for NASA's strategic planning and for the strategic management decisions necessary to turn this Plan into reality. We are fully committed to continue working with the men and women of NASA and our customers to meet our goals and realize our common vision.
This document builds on our tremendous successes of 1994, and it takes us a step closer to a top-notch strategic management system for the Agency. New in this document are specific goals for each Enterprise and more detailed strategies that describe how we will reach them.
You will see more significant changes in our 1996 Strategic Plan. That Plan, which we have already begun to develop, will reflect the dramatic changes sweeping NASA, the Government, and the Nation. It will be published in September 1995.
We welcome comments-from inside and outside of NASA-on this Plan and suggestions on ways to improve it. Improving our Plan is important to us, since it will be an essential tool for the Agency as we go forward into a new era in space and aeronautics and a new era in Government.
