decision process be transparent<br />
and collaborative, to include<br />
each of its partner and customer<br />
organizations. For example, the<br />
managers of NASA’s sounding<br />
rocket and balloon programs, along<br />
with managers of commercial<br />
Taurus II program and Department<br />
of Defense orbital transportation<br />
and Ballistic Missile Defense<br />
activities, need to understand<br />
<strong>Wallops</strong> Research Range’s<br />
perspective on how specific<br />
launch and range capabilities<br />
will evolve so they can anticipate<br />
which capabilities will be available<br />
to them in the future. Partner<br />
organizations, such as Virginia<br />
Commercial Space <strong>Flight</strong> Authority,<br />
need to be engaged collaboratively<br />
and assured that <strong>Wallops</strong> Research<br />
Range’s decisions are in step with<br />
cooperative arrangements and<br />
resources to ensure alignment with<br />
their goals as well.<br />
<strong>Wallops</strong> Research Range’s next steps regarding the strategic plan will focus on “Preparing for<br />
Change,” presenting the vision, mission, strategic goals and challenges to internal stakeholders<br />
such as leadership and staff to ensure alignment with all plan elements. Following this activity, all<br />
actionable goals consisting primarily of the plan’s “will” statements will be organized, prioritized,<br />
and mapped into the above implementation phases and produce a schedule-based implementation<br />
roadmap. This phased, schedule-based implementation roadmap will enable <strong>Wallops</strong> Research Range<br />
to effectively direct efforts and allocate resources to achieve the goals outlined the strategic plan.<br />
