Our meeting will take place on December 8th, so we can be ready to discuss promotion recommendations as early as Monday, December 11. When would be a good time for you? The invitation to attend our December 8th meeting still stands. I know that it is along way to come for a single meeting (although it will most likely be a fully day), but if there are other things that you could accomplish while here, it could be worth it. --Sally Mike Jordan 11/28/2000 08:48 AM To: Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Re: Cross calibration for Operations people globally Sally This is great but you are right in that we probably do not have time to cross calibrate for the full global population of Risk Ops - perhaps next year. Also, from discussions with Fernley the higher grades will form part of Rick Causey's PRC ranking process - so we are left with lower risk post that ( Fernley said he would forward his note to Rick to yourself ). My remaining concern is that any promotions, particularly in the risk group, which are not matched across Houston/London or indeed between EGM London and EEL London may create people risk. Can I suggest we compare promotions from senior specialist ( up to manager ) upwards ? Hope everything is going well Mike Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp. From: Sally Beck 27/11/2000 20:08 To: Mike Jordan/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Re: Cross calibration for Operations people globally I have attached a listing of planned PRC meetings for Operations that will be held in Houston. There will be a number of pre-review meetings that will be held over the next two weeks in preparation for an Energy Operations PRC meeting to be held on Friday, December 8th. The pre-meetings are necessary due to the sheer size of the groups. (In addition to the meetings detailed in this schedule, Brent's team in EGM is having pre-meetings as well.) The December 8th meeting will include all operations personnel from ENA, EGM and EIM. We will review the results from the pre-review meetings for Senior Specialists and below. I have asked that the results from the pre-review meetings mirror the "preferred distribution", which as you probably know suggests that 15% of the population will not receive a bonus and should therefore be in the bottom two categories. Assuming that appropriate work has been done at the pre-review meetings, this review on the 8th should not be too lengthy. We will take considerably more time as we review the managers, who will have been pre-ranked as well. This will give us a good jumping off point for the cross calibration discussions. We will then review and rank the directors and senior directors. We will also be discussing suggested promotions during this meeting as well. Finally, assuming that I still have David Oxley and Wes Colwell captive and attentive, I will discuss my suggested rankings for the three VP's who report to me. (We will of course pare down the list of attendees as we move up the ladder on levels that we are reviewing -- initial make up of the December 8th PRC is me and my direct reports within ENA, Brent and his direct reports within EGM and Brenda Herod from EIM.) I have also extended an invitation to Louise Kitchen to attend the December 8th meeting. I do not know yet if she will attend. Do you have some suggestions for cross-calibrating on a global basis this year? I think that next year we can put some plans in place early in the year to help facilitate this. Would you like to attend the meeting here in Houston on December 8th? Is there a planned meeting in London that would make sense for me to attend? Let me know your thoughts. -Sally Mike Jordan 11/24/2000 04:28 AM To: Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Fernley Dyson/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Cross calibration for Operations people globally Sally I have been speaking to Cindy Horn ( works for Scott here in London ) about checking ratings / promotions across the two groups in London ( EGM and EEL ) which raised concerns that this might duplicate some work done on cross calibration done by yourself. Can I ask what are the plans?
