Paul Lambertson, chief engineer at Boeing and keynote speaker for the graduation, applauded NASA's commitment to investing in its systems engineering capability through the Systems Engineering Leadership Development Program. Systems engineering is the art and science of focusing in on lifecycle processes. Not everyone has the ability or the experience to know how to do that, he explained.

The Art and Science of Systems Engineering (Paul Lambertson)

On June 5, 2012, the Office of the Chief Knowledge Officer held its first “Engaging Leaders in Knowledge” event at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Langley presented the results of the 2012 PMI “Pulse of the Profession” study to an audience of NASA practitioners. The annual global survey gathered feedback from over 1,000 practitioners and project managers from a variety industries and disciplines. Key themes Langley highlighted included talent management, portfolio management, risk management, and the increasing demand for innovation.
