15.990 Prepare, Act, Reflect: Lab for getting things done
Fall 2007
This innovative class will help equip you to be the most effective manager you can be. To build
this effectiveness, we'll explore tools and theory relevant to the practice of management as the
art of getting things done. As part of the learning process, the class will encourage you to draw
together what you have been learning in your MIT Sloan classes, in your work experiences, and
in other ways you have already been working to make things happen.The objective of 15.990 is to help you to develop your own set of skills for learning from every
experience. Of course, taking action is a key part of learning from experience, so you will work
on a project of your choosing throughout the semester. Each step of the way, we'll work through
the prepare-act-reflect cycle in a way designed to maximize your effectiveness. And in doing so,
you will start making a difference while you're still here.
