The document summarizes NASA's Commercial Crew Program (CCP), which takes a non-traditional approach of partnering with commercial providers through Space Act Agreements (SAA) instead of traditional contracts. The goals of the program are to develop safe and cost-effective crew transportation to the International Space Station while facilitating partnerships between NASA and commercial partners. Key aspects of the program include using SAAs initially before transitioning to contracts, developing certification requirements, and providing oversight and insight into partner activities at appropriate levels throughout development and testing. The program aims to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness through competition between multiple partners.
Strategic Program Management is about meeting the challenges of scale and complexity but also about capturing the opportunities of leverage. Every major program as well as the projects that comprise it is the subject of a detailed and rigorous risk analysis. This is not only appropriate but also necessary. But in order to capture the full value inherent in large programs, the program management consultant or PMC must be seeking out opportunities in a proactive and ongoing manner.
The PMC’s opportunity analysis is best constructed within a framework that ensures a comprehensive view of all aspects of the program. Unlike various risk frameworks and categorizations that exist, there is no comparable opportunity framework for program management in the engineering and construction industry.
Partnership Risk Management Sample Slides from MasterclassAlexander Larsen
A sample of my slides from my Masterclass I held in Dubai a few years ago covering the topic of Partnership Risk Management. Slideshare doesn't allow animations so some slides may look odd.
Restructure with less risk and more confidence. Business integration and its inherent transformational elements always present
a number of tough challenges as well as opportunities for the business as a
whole – e.g. deciding what the target operating model will look like and choosing
which systems best suit new ways of working. Lack of clarity with these new ways
of working can cause additional hurdles. For example, sometimes politics can
get in the way; with ‘pet’ systems chosen over those systems that actually fit the
target operating model and the desired culture of the merged organisations.
TotalSoft introduced in Romania the project management concept through Oracle Primavera, the project management application mostly used by the local market.
Currently, TotalSoft has a portfolio of over 650 Primavera customers in areas such as public administration, construction, engineering, shipbuilding, defense, energy and oil, accounting for 90% of the project management solutions market in Romania. These results, along with the technical skills held, allowed obtaining the Oracle Platinum Partner status, TotalSoft being the only company in Romania to hold this title for the Oracle Primavera specialization.
In fact, TotalSoft managed to be elected for 11 consecutive years in the Primavera Club President, where are recruited only partners with outstanding results. Moreover, only 7 companies in the world have managed to enter this exclusive circle. In over 17 years of experience in this field, TotalSoft completed the Oracle Primavera suite with a series of applications tailored to the local specificity, but also with consulting services, maintenance, technical support and training in project management.

Executive sponsorship: the cornerstone of transformationPTC
Most business leaders understand that executive sponsorship is a key success factor for any technology-based change initiative. In practice, however, they often fail to establish the type of sponsorship required to guide large-scale programs to a successful conclusion.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement.

3. What is our Commercial Program?
Commercial Program approach is different then a traditional cost
development effort
• NASA takes the role of Government investor
• Commercial Providers are expected to invest their funds in the
development
Government + Industry Investments
Competition through pre-negotiated, milestone-based agreements
that support the development, testing, and demonstration of
multiple systems
Transition to a FAR Type Contract for requirement execution and
Services
Space Act Agreements first… Contracts later
Funded and Unfunded Partners
Develop CTS certification requirements and strategies ensuring
safe transportation for NASA crew
Right Size Insight…. Right time Oversight

4. Partnering Goals
CCP is utilizing Government/Industry partnerships showcasing a
different way of doing business with the Industry.
Ensure end-to-end Crew Transportation Systems (CTS) certification
requirements
Maximize cost effectiveness
Enable cost share with fixed government investment
Facilitate partner performance management
Support partner retention of intellectual property rights
Allocate liability between government & partner / indemnify
Enable International Space Station services
Encourage marketing of products to other customers
Minimize administrative overhead
Maximize efficiency in cost / financial reporting requirements
Allow government-furnished equipment & services

8. Schedule
Top-level Programmatic
No multi-tier schedules
Partner is managing their schedule
In the Partner‟s best interest to stay on their schedule to
receive the next investment installment
Keep services contract in front of Partners
8
9. Cost
Program cost includes investing in multiple Partners
• Programmatic costs are minimal: <15%
SAA with Partners includes a pre-negotiated “installment”
payment plan
„Meet or Don‟t Meet‟ milestone success criteria
NASA can elect to discontinue SAA at anytime

10. Technical
Requirements cannot be levied
under an SAA
Partners have to “opt in”
Program requirements are
“level 2” only
Station has a set of
requirements that Partners can
"opt" in as well

11. Risk Management
Top level risks are larger
programmatic risks, not
necessarily Partners‟
Crucial to have awareness of
Partners‟ risk
Program has separate
evaluation of risk associated
with the Partners
Insight priorities are built
around identified risk
11
12. Stakeholders
Strategic Plan for Communication
Keep your Program Sold
• Internal/external stakeholders
Communicate, Communicate, Co
mmunicate
• Communicate often with the
commercial Industry
• Utilize webcasts to limit travel
• Open communication with Industry
as a whole, not just Partners
• Demonstrate your listening
• Communicate ASAP
Embrace Social Media
12
14. Competition is Key
Ensures cost-effectiveness
• Incentive for the companies to perform
• Government not dependent on sole provider early in the DDT&E effort
• Produces lower prices and mitigates the risk of failure of single Provider
Provides an incentive for the companies to share in the cost of
development
Providers own financial investment into the development,
• Supplements government funds
• Provides strong incentive for the companies to “stay in the game” when
encountering difficulties.
14
15. SAA Advantages
Funded SAAs are more cost effective in the current budget
environment than the FAR-based fixed-price contracts.
• Allows more flexibility to fund Providers during the performance
period, as funding levels become known
• Provides NASA with limited liability in case we need to terminate
or renegotiate the SAA due to funding constraints
• Provider is responsible for determining the best approach to the
design and development of its commercial system

20. Insight
So how‟s that working?
How does the Government get any value?

21. Insight
Eventually, once we get to the
services contract, there will be
requirements which must be met

the responsibility of the partners

23. Communications Lessons Learned
Things started out confusing as Program and teams were
storming and forming
• Roles and responsibilities were not clear
• No forums to pass information and communicate issues
• Changes were made often leading to confusion and friction
Consistency was found through team meetings, Milestones,
Stand-up, and Program meetings
• Every PIT has a standing team meeting
• Stand-ups on Monday and Thursday with PI Staff meeting on
Tuesday
• TRBs and PCBs
• Milestones and Quarterly Reviews
23
24. Insight Lessons Learned
We have had some growing pains and like it or not we are a multi-center,
multi-organization Program
• “Not being co-located with other members of the core team hinders
communication and slowed the building of trust and team relationships.”
Specify some insight presence in the AFP. At one kick-off meeting there
was much happiness and camaraderie, however the next day they were
shown the door and told don‟t come back until we call you. That improved
greatly over time due to charm and wit (and begging), but the fact remains
that the SAA permitted it.
For milestones, there is a need to specify “business days” vs. “calendar
days” in terms of review time when the review period is very short.
Include words to allow for more insight (i.e., the SAA stated at least one
NASA rep, why not be realistic about it the number. Add stipulations for
insight visits and offices at partner facilities).
