Program/Project Management Resource List #36

Revised March 2009

Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library

"I resist change even as I call for it.", Mason Cooley

When too many sections of an organization change at once, or when the pace of change is too high, the organizational change process will be derailed. These resources lay out ways in which the spread and speed of change can be properly controlled, and also suggest remedies for what to do after organizational change runs amok. For material on organizational change in general and for material on personally spearheading change, please see our resource lists on Organizational Change and Change Agents.

All items are available at the Headquarters Library, except as noted. NASA Headquarters employees and contractors: call x0172 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 availability 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.
