description This paper investigates the initial planning process for the transition of an organization from a R & D environment to an Operations environment. Using a developed transition life cycle model, the paper demonstrates a four step analysis of the management of the transition. Further, the paper suggests the utilization of existing methods for achieving a smooth transformation under various levels of technical, political, cultural, managerial, and economic uncertainties. Finally, the paper lists possible courses of action and considerations for the transition once the initial planning stage is completed. The concepts herein were used to begin planning the change, from R & D to Operations, of the Space Shuttle Program at NASA.
