About the Workshop
The Road to Mission Success (RTMS) workshop is an interactive learning series about Goddard’s integrated approach to successful missions – the big picture view of how NASA and Goddard does business. The workshop is structured to transfer the experience, wisdom and values embedded in the center’s policies, procedures and processes.
This workshop is designed for emerging managers and leaders. It equips the workforce with critical knowledge about how Goddard works and the drivers of mission success. Interactive learning and knowledge exchange is facilitated through presentations, class discussion and active case studies assignments. The RTMS workshop series focuses on the following themes that drive mission success at Goddard:
- GSFC History and Culture
- Leadership Perspectives and Decision Making
- Science
- Innovation, Technology, and New Concepts
- Project Management
- Engineering and Systems Engineering
- Procurement and Acquisition
- Safety and Mission Assurance
- Lessons Learned and Mission Success
Various NASA leaders and subject matter experts share their accumulated technical wisdom on these themes.
