Jean Engle is the chief knowledge officer for the Johnson Space Center (JSC), where she is responsible for developing an integrated knowledge management plan across the entire center, conducting studies of current and past knowledge management activities, evaluating current policies and processes, and collaborating with other NASA centers and industry to identify and use best practices. Over the past several years, she has led the center’s involvement in a number of agency-wide and center-wide IT standards and security efforts. Engle joined the JSC as a cooperative education student in 1984. She has served in a variety of increasingly responsible division and directorate staff positions and has been a member of the CIO Office since its inception in 1994. Engle has been the recipient of numerous awards including the astronaut’s personal award, the Silver Snoopy; two NASA Exceptional Service Medals; the JSC Certificate of Commendation; and the Goddard Space Flight Center Group Achievement Award. She earned a BA in mathematics and an MBA from the University of Houston, Clear Lake. SummaryYour host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Jean Engle, and the topic will be "Knowledge Sharing: Some Myths and Ideas, and a Little IT." Today in many circles the mention of knowledge management conjures up fears of complex IT systems (often equated with failure) or a new initiative (often associated with vague requirements). How do you develop a knowledge management program that incorporates the essence of organizational learning and knowledge sharing without new tools or systems? The Johnson Space Center has embarked on such a quest to define a program that leverages the wealth of knowledge of 50 years of human space flight not only for today's workforce but also for generations to come.
