– Articulating compelling vision and clear priorities – Creating the structures and systems – Delivering the organization’s current value – Anticipating the future – Connecting between the “white spaces”

• Different teams may be critical at different

phases of organizational growth

• Some critical teams may not yet exist

NASA Engineering team

• This team writes the algorithms that guide millions of

dollars of rockets… which sometimes return back to earth

• Outcome success measured crudely as explosion vs.

survival is quite good

• The team knows that their code is built on top of ancient

programming, inefficient and full of workarounds

• They are not in crisis, but seeking continuous

improvement

How effective are they?
