The Security Studies Program is pleased to offer the following professional courses during the 2008 summer session:
Both public and private organizations are concerned with innovating to keep pace with a fast changing environment. Yet attempts to innovate are usually disruptive, cause internal dissension, and often fail. This course, taught by MIT experts and affiliates, explores failures and successes to identify strategies that can sustain significant innovation.
The threats of bioterrorism and global pandemics pose new challenges for public health, law enforcement and national security agencies. All these agencies face new biosecurity priorities, including learning to collaborate with each other. Yet agencies have deeply embedded professional norms and organizational cultures, which resist change. MIT experts and affiliates explore the obstacles to implementation and strategies to overcome them.
