There are many creative external organizations implementing innovative processes and methods that could be of benefit to NASA. Reaching out to some of these organizations is occurring across the Agency on an ad hoc basis. Innovation Transfusion will be a focused activity to more strategically realize the potential from external creativity.
Innovation Transfusion will accomplish this goal through the implementation of NASA Innovation Ambassadors, a technical training program that places NASA technical employees at external organizations, and NASA Innovation Scouts, NASA team participate in focused workshops to exchange information on specific innovations with external organizations. Innovation Transfusion will follow an annual process to select ambassadors and schedule scout workshops with the goal of incorporating innovations into NASA to meet Agency needs. Innovation Transfusion is expected to place its first Innovation Ambassador at an external organization in the 2008 calendar year.
