for the new official plan that Ottawa is currently creating. In the context of the
systems approach outlined in class each of the big moves can be thought of as goals
for the city and each of the policy directions can be thought of as objectives in that
they are generally more quantifiable than the broader big move goals.

five big moves (meaning that you will do this for 10 objectives in total) and
devise a criterion that can be used to explicitly measure the successfulness of
this particular objective. Provide one or two sentences of justification for why
you believe the criterion will help measure the achievement of that particular
policy objective. Note that some criteria may be included in the discussion of
3
policy in the document and you can use these criteria for your answer. You
should provide your answer in table format and the answer should be no more
than a single page (font times new roman size 11).
Each of the policies have 4 marks. 1 Mark provided for identifying a policy in
the table. 1 Mark will be provided for coming up with a criterion that is
reasonable, and 2 mark will be provided for providing an insightful justification
or explanation for how the criteria helps measure achievement of the
goal/objective.
