Program/Project Management Resource List #53
Revised July 2009
According to Dorothy Leonard and Walter Swap in "Preserving Deep Smarts at NASA", nearly half of NASA's workforce was eligible for retirement in 2006. Many of the people who would leave would be the managers and leaders who set the agency's course and steered its programs past obstacles towards their destinations. NASA can archive the lessons they learned through their careers and practice other techniques of knowledge management, but NASA will need to face the question of succession management just as it will also need to face the issues of Human Capital Management in the Technical Fields. The NASA HQ library also maintains resource lists on Transforming Engineers and Scientists Into Managers and Interpersonal Relations and Group Dynamics, which may shed some more light on the issues covered here.
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.
