Program/Project Management Resource List #11

Revised March 2009

"When you're finished changing, you're finished.", Benjamin Franklin

Change is the one thing that we must all face. NASA, like the other federal agencies, must trim its sails according to decisions made in the Oval Office and on Capitol Hill. Other changes are caused by advances in technology, most notably in information technology. For information on managing the flow of change, how you can move changes along instead of being moved by them, and on creating an organizational environment that is receptive to change, please see the library's resource lists on Change Management, Change Agents, and Corporate Culture.

All items are available at the Headquarters Library, except as noted. NASA Headquarters employees and contractors: call (358-0172) or email Library@hq.nasa.gov for information on borrowing or in-library use of any of these items. Members of the public, contact your local library for the availibilty of these items. NASA Headquarters employees can request additional materials or research on this topic. The Library welcomes your comments or suggestions about this webpage.
