Upcoming Programs

Propelling Team Performance: Strategies from NASA that Promote Individual, Team, and

Organizational Learning

Thursday, February 18, 2010, 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm

The Ritz-Carlton - Pentagon City

Sponsored by C2 Technologies, Inc.

In a project-based organization like NASA, performance takes place in a team setting.

After the highly publicized failure of two Mars missions in the late 1990s, NASA began providing direct

support to project teams through its Academy of Program/Project & Engineering Leadership. A decade

later, the Academy has supported hundreds of project and engineering teams across the agency. The

Academy’s interventions make clear that the optimal performance and learning come together at the team

level.

Learn more from Dr. Edward Hoffman, Director of the NASA Academy for Program/Project and

Engineering Leadership (APPEL) at our February meeting.
