Abstract: The aim of this session is to present a
proposal for “better thinking about thinking” as it
applies to issues ranging leadership to team
work. A deeper understanding of these ideas
and examples of their everyday use will provide
direction for organizations to learn together and
work together in new ways. This session will
introduce you to these ideas through a series of
questions that are specially selected to create
awareness of a new approach to thinking
together, learning together, and working together.
Fine print: The ideas presented apply only to the design, development, and manufacturing of rocket engines.

Perception & Thinking
“How the world we perceive
works depends on how we think.
The world we perceive is a world
