"Improvement within a NASA Field Organization"Authored, and presented for a helping relationship to be consideredMarch 16, 1963

A proposal to the local NASA laboratory to consider hiring the recently instituted Case Institute OB(Organizational Behavior) Program's human resources for a helping relationship. Connections weremade to the precursor histories re Industrial Relations and I/O Psychology (to illustrate rationaleand justifications).

LeGray presented this paper at the conference, and Proceedings for the Conference entitled"Engineering Problems of Manned Interplanetary Exploration" were subsequently published, Sept.30- Oct. 1, 1963.

"Hardware, Growth and Development in the Power SystemsBusiness"Authored, and submitted this proposal for a presentation at a Power Systems

Conference.

July 18, 1965

A draft of the proposed paper was submitted for presentation at a Space Power SystemsConference, but the content was judged not to be within the "scope" of Conference Proceedings.My guess: Discussions of technical task considerations were to be kept separate from managementprerogatives? In other words (at the time): "Technology and Management Assistance" discussionswere...

October 1965

This paper was the result of an intensive process reflection exercise regarding a SteeringCommittee Experiment which involved all members of the new 1st OB Program at Case Institute(the faculty and students). Several redrafts were attempted to reach a higher level of learning withthe coaching of Herb Shepard (OB/OD Program Director) before finalizing "what was learned".

This research was in response to NSF sociological concerns about "Technological Obsolescence inScience and Engineering", in particular. Study research was conducted (by Herb Shepard and BillLeGray, with a team of students for interviewing) at several government and industry workplacelocations. There were two major findings: 1) The data analysis indicated that "the most...

September 1977

This short list of "primary subject considerations" in this particular "new knowledge territory" (relatedto the ABS/OB/OD/Social and Behavioral/& HSD academic disciplines). They were outlined toguide further study and reporting for Management Assistance improvements. (Note;ABS/OB/OD/HSD are acronyms for Applied Behavioral Science, Organizational Behavior,...

"Mental Health in Engineering Work Situations"Authored, and submitted for publication in the OD Institute Journal.

November 29, 1979

This paper (a draft of an article to be included in a forthcoming issue of the OD Institute Journal)was reviewed by a university professor abroad (in the Far East), and was judged abruptly to be "notappropriate" for publication (w/o further explanations).

Methods of calculating vehicle tailpipe emissions cleanup (i.e. the chemistry improvements usingcatalytic converters), and the associated restrictive flow energy losses were described. Capabilitiesand laboratory data (from these initial modeling efforts) led to further improvements. Eventually,using the laboratory data, there was sufficient learning to characterize the exhaust gasesproduced...

"Engineering and Organizational Design for Human Differences"An experiential learning based White Paper was collated for circulation

March 1981

Some similarities re these "corresponding" design approaches for effectiveness were examined forimproving the accomodation of differences, and inclusion.

"Organizational Development Marketing and Credentials"Organization Development Journal, Vol. 2, No. 4, Winter 1984 issue

January 1984

The primary concern discussed was the vocabulary used to create perceptions and images of OD,i.e. "what is OD about." The "relevancy" of vocabulary commonly used was the focus. A globalconcept of what OD involves was described- basically, re man, money, and materials.Corresponding thoughts about QC (for products), and OD (for people) were explored.

"Frame Structures (for Systems) Design Guide"Authored, and printed for distribution to, & referencing by, technical specialists

March 14, 1990

Fresh from out of a major frame structures product program management effort, I was given"sabbatical time" to document guidelines and learning for future commodity efforts of this type.Doing it right, up front, creates a major "stake in the ground" for successful vehicle launches.

"OD in Engineering Trends"

A research/white paper assessment was authored for circulation to

management.

March 10, 1990

This review included a Toolkit of concepts for decision-making, social processes (in Engineering)considerations, a commentary about the Product Engineering web of life, a summary regardingcorporate bottom line Management, and daily reminders for effective Leadership actions.

"Organizational Development Strategy 2000- Overview"

A research/white paper outlook assessment was authored for circulation to

management.

January 5, 1991

Thoughts for automotive companies, suppliers, unions, defense agencies, manufacturer'sassociations, and engineering associations were provided. All the comments reflected "experiencedbased perspectives" (EBPs) developed within the American car industry. Research, planning,strategy, training, and change were subjects briefly discussed for future successes.
