Mayoral Transition Plan

On May 10th, Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel published a transition plan (PDF) detailing expectations for his term and opportunities for his first 100 days in office.

The report was the work of an unprecedented collaboration between the 120 civic leaders on the Mayor's transition committees and Civic Consulting Alliance partners. Altogether, 70 individuals from 15 partner firms and organizations have contributed their time and expertise to shaping recommendations for the report and to analysis that will accelerate a successful transition.

"One of the things that made the experience especially interesting was the way that the process convened such a diverse group of people in a rapid period of time," said Kenneth Porrello, a Partner at Deloitte, who worked on the report. "It was fascinating to hear such a wide range of ideas and then to see how those ideas came together into an integrated set of recommendations."

The transition report contains more than 50 ideas that the administration will launch immediately, as well as ideas for the term that will position Chicago for the next 40 years.

In an editorial, the Sun-Times called the report "a bold, transformative agenda for change for Chicago."
