Many mission organizations are at a crossroads.
Methods that worked well in the past may lead to stagnation. Choosing a new path through visionary planning and innovative operation can lead to progress. Most mission leaders agree that change must come to their organization, but few know how to embrace it. Choosing a Future for U.S. Missions takes a hard look at current mission realities and offers you promising new possibilities for the future. This process was adapted from NASA to help project your agency into the future to identify new areas of concern in the present.
