Dall W. Forsythe
Preface Dall W. Forsythe n 1998, two of America’s top experts in public management agreed that government’s use of performance management de- Iserved a searching and critical review. Those experts were Rich- ard P. Nathan, director of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government, and Paul Light, then a program director at The Pew Charitable Trusts. This book is one of the products of their agree- ment. As the bibliography in this volume demonstrates, the literature on performance management and measurement in the public sector is extensive. Most of the authors writing in this field advocate in- creased use of performance management systems, and see them as indispensable tools for improving management and accountability in government. Light and Nathan, however, were concerned that too little attention had been given to the problems of “managing for re- sults,” as performance management is sometimes known. As de- tailed in the cases and analyses in this volume, performance management initiatives in government face difficulties in implemen- tation in the best of circumstances. At their worst, they create incen- tives for unexpected or even undesirable behavior by agency managers and front-line personnel. vii Quicker, Better, Cheaper? Managing Performance in American Government To look more deeply into the problems and possibilities of per- formance management systems, The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Rockefeller Institute brought together a group of experts in public policy and management to discuss these issues. An effort was made to include critics as well as enthusiasts. In addition to Nathan and Light, members of the Task Force included: ] Walter Broadnax, dean of the School of Public Affairs at American University in Washington.

NASA's Implementation Plan for Return to Flight and Beyond NASA's Implementation Plan for Return to Flight and Beyond a Message from Sean O’Keefe
September 8, 2003 NASA’s Implementation Plan for Return to Flight and Beyond A periodically updated document demonstrating our progress toward safe return to flight and implementation of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board recommendations NASA’s Implementation Plan for Return to Flight and Beyond A periodically updated document demonstrating our progress toward safe return to flight and implementation of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board recommendations September 8, 2003 An electronic version of this implementation plan is available at www.nasa.gov NASA's Implementation Plan for Return to Flight and Beyond NASA's Implementation Plan for Return to Flight and Beyond A Message From Sean O’Keefe Shortly after the tragic loss of Mike Anderson, David Brown, Kalpana Chawla, Laurel Clark, Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Ilan Ramon, and the Space Shuttle Columbia, I committed on behalf of the NASA family that we would find the cause of the terrible disaster, fix it, and safely fly again. To do less would be a disservice to the memory of the STS-107 crew. In order to achieve the first objective, I assigned a group of distinguished, uniquely qualified individuals led by Admiral Harold W. Gehman, Jr. (USN-Ret.) to form the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) and determine the cause of this tragic event. The CAIB thoroughly and intensely examined the cause of the accident and recently issued its exhaustive report and recommendations, completing our first objec- tive. We deeply appreciate the personal sacrifice that the CAIB members and staff have made over the last seven months in conducting this extraordinary investigation.

NASA Implementation Plan for Space Shuttle Return to Flight (RTF)
NASA’s Implementation Plan for Space Shuttle Return to Flight and Beyond A periodically updated document demonstrating our progress toward safe return to flight and implementation of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board recommendations June 3, 2005 Volume 1, Tenth Edition An electronic version of this implementation plan is available at www.nasa.gov NASA’s Implementation Plan for Space Shuttle Return to Flight and Beyond June 3, 2005 Tenth Edition Summary June 3, 2005 This edition of NASA’s Implementation Plan for Space Shuttle Return to Flight (RTF) and Beyond marks significant progress in our efforts to return safely to flight. NASA’s focus on safety was reinforced with the decision to delay the planned return to flight launch (STS-114) to the July 2005 launch window when it was determined during the Design Verification Review for Debris that additional analysis was required prior to return to flight. The delay of the launch window will allow adequate time to perform the additional work. NASA’s new Administrator, Dr. Michael Griffin, appointed in April 2005, supported the Space Shuttle Program’s decision to delay the launch based on sound engineering rationale. This edition provides updates to all of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) Return to Flight Recommendations and Observations that remain open. In this edition, all open Raising the Bar Space Shuttle Program Actions have been updated, and five of the nine open actions were closed. NASA’s “Integrated Accepted Risk Approach” has been updated to reflect the steps NASA has taken to respond to the CAIB recommendations, to improve the Space Shuttle system, and to address the resulting impacts on our flight rationale.

Progress continues in our Thermal Protection System (TPS) impact testing and material analysis. These tests are helping NASA to refine our requirements for damage tolerance. Work is also ongoing to refine TPS repair materials and techniques. In addition, the Space Shuttle Program has approved the implementation of an enhanced, robust suite of ground imagery, on-vehicle imagery, and on-orbit imagery; these imagery assets will help us to gain im- portant engineering insight into the Space Shuttle’s performance, and particularly the performance of the redesigned External Tank (ET). On August 1, 2004, the NASA Administrator appointed Admiral Walter Cantrell as the NASA Independent Technical Authority (ITA). This appointment was an important step in implementing the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) ITA recommendation. ITA implementation plans are under development in each of the NASA Space Operations Cen- ters, and in the Space Operations Mission Directorate. NASA is also nearing completion of the plan to address Recommendation 9.1-1 and the organizational causes of the Columbia accident.
