Faster-Better-Cheaper? NASA The NASA New Millennium Program: Faster,Better,Cheaper craft were small and most of them tested new technologies.Of the 16 projects undertaken,six had failed as of January 1,2000.The resulting success rate,a paltry 63 percent,was significantly below spacecraft normand well below the expectations for reliability that advocates placed on the initiative.

What is systems thinking? Systems thinking is a perspective of seeing and understanding systems as wholes rather than as collections of parts.A whole is a web of interconnections that creates emerging patterns. big picture cause-and-effect relationships 人心一
