For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmAn old saying holds that “there are many more good ideas in the world than good ideas implemented.” This is a case-based introduction to the fundamentals of effective implementation. Developed with the needs and interests of planners—but also with broad potential application—in mind, this course is a fast-paced, case-driven introduction to developing strategy for organizations and projects, managing operations, recruiting and developing talent, taking calculated risks, measuring results (performance), and leading adaptive change, for example where new mental models and habits are required but also challenging to promote. Our cases are set in the U.S. and the developing world and in multiple work sectors (urban redevelopment, transportation, workforce development, housing, etc.). We will draw on public, private, and nonprofit implementation concepts and experience.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-958January--IAP--2009/CourseHome/index.htmde Souza Briggs, Xavier 2009-04-22T02:10:42-04:0011.958en-USUrban Studies and PlanningConstruction EngineeringNon-Profit/Public/Organizational Managementmayor purcellmanaging the underground cityone church one childcare usamikhukhupark plazaupwardly globalcollaborationtalentvisionorganizational changepolitical managementpublic valueleadershipmanagementnon-profit organizationscase studiesimplementing ideasMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmGovernments at every level assume a measure of responsibility for seeking good design. Some of that responsibility is exercised directly—through the design and construction of government buildings, for example. But most changes to our environments are neither designed nor built by governments. Rather, they are the result of the actions and investments of private individuals, institutions, corporations, joint ventures, or private/public collaborations. Yet, the actions of all of these actors are affected by the design policies of government and the interventions that are undertaken to implement those policies. In this advanced graduate-level seminar we will explore new ways of thinking about urban design policy in an attempt to better understand just what government does—and what it can do effectively—in the realm of design policy.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-337JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmSchuster, J.
