"Dick O'Neill" on 06/12/2001 04:45:35 PM Please respond to To: , , cc: Subject: Highlands Forum information Dear Steve--we are approaching the Secretary of Defense-sponsored Highlands Forum and very much looking forward to your participation. I am sending several attachments to you and Ursula and Maureen regarding the program and the logistics that are updated from earlier versions. With regard to the program, we are very pleased that you are going to be with us to be the centerpiece of our discussion. Enron's experience is quite important to us as we seriously consider transformative change in the Department of Defense. I have given copies of Dick Foster's new book, Creative Destruction, to the Deputy Secretary of Defense as well as the Assistant Secretary, and the Enron case that he outlines makes for important discussion. We intend to hand out copies to the participants at the Forum. My thought is that you would give us 15 minutes on transformation in a competitive environment and some examples of discontinuities that you took advantage of--also your corporate culture and sense of risk taking (risk is something that is particularly important to discuss with our defense leadership). We are looking to move beyond "cultural lock-in". You would be joined on the panel by moderator Philip Evans of the Boston Consulting Group, and engage in a discussion with Goran Lindahl, CEO of ABB (Roger Ackerman called today to apologize, but he will not be able to attend--evidently a serious family illness is taking him away immediately) and Dick Foster. We hope that most of the panel time will be discussion with each other and the audience, so that our defense leaders can pose questions to you and drill down on topics of great interest. Phil Condit, Chairman and CEO of Boeing, will open Tuesday morning with his remarks on Boeing's transformation in progress. I would have had him on your panel, however he will be at Boeing's annual board meeting on Monday and won't be able to get to us until late afternoon. He will be with us for dinner and then all day on Tuesday. Regarding logistics, we have your room reserved for you for Sunday and Monday evenings, June 24-25. We begin the meeting with a wine and hors d'oeuvres reception on Sunday from 5-7 PM in the Carmel Highlands at the private oceanside residence of Bob and Carol Wallyn, our hosts for the first Forum seven years ago. Our guest of honor is Congressman Mac Thornberry. We will be taking shuttle vans from Quail Lodge to the Wallyns as the road is quite narrow down the cliff and there is very little parking anywhere nearby. The vans should depart the Lodge between 4:30 and 5 pm from the lobby and return at 7. Everyone is free to make their own dinner plans for the evening after the reception. If I have left anything out please let me know. Looking forward to meeting you in Carmel Valley.
