Executive Leadership Training & The Trailblazer Framework

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking a contractor to provide executive leadership training to the OCFO leadership team. The training will be a one-day intensive course that aims to upskill the team in advanced strategic planning methodologies. The contractor will deliver a "Learn-Do" instructional program consisting of morning theoretical instruction and an afternoon experiential case study. The training will cover topics such as "Future-Back" planning, "Pre-Mortem" risk analysis, and rapid prioritization. The contractor will also facilitate a final brief-out session to senior leadership. The key objectives of the training are to: • Apply "Future-Back" Planning: Define strategic end-states using the "Press Release of the Future" technique. • Conduct Risk "Pre-Mortems": Predict failure points and overcome cultural inertia to foster a growth mindset. • Execute Rapid Prioritization: Categorize operational challenges into "Blockers," "Chaos," and "At Stake" to isolate high-value initiatives. • Facilitate Mission Alignment: Utilize focus questions to align diverse teams around a shared North Star vision.
