Current KSC Organization Detriments

• Unnecessary duplication of effort • Diluted authority and accountability

• Multiple customer hand-offs • Limited flexibility

• Inconsistent alignment with Roadmap

• Culture of excessive organizational self-reliance

Objectives of KSC 2000

– Fulfill our commitments for safe operations to the Space Shuttle, International Space Station and Expendable Launch Vehicle programs/customers

– Improve application of our operational expertise to meet current and future program challenges through technology

– Recognize a continuing inherently governmental sustaining (operational) role and culture while institutionalizing a technology development role and culture at KSC

– Attract, develop and retain a highly competent, diverse, agile and flexible workforce

- Provide new KSC customers with a single “one-stop shopping” interface- Improve alignment of KSC workforce with KSC Implementation Plan and Roadmap- Posture KSC to live within allotted resources (dollars and people)- Minimize organizational self-reliance and functional duplication across KSC by providing an accountable and responsive service structure and culture
