We have had 7 interviews so far (including Jack Bowen and Bill Strauss) but will pick up the pace in early December when Joe is through with his semester. Next summer will also be a very active time. Charls Walker is scheduled, and we will get on the calendars of some of the older folks (HNG directors) in the next weeks. - Rob Joeprattuh@aol.com 10/18/2000 07:50 PM To: Rob.Bradley@enron.com cc: Subject: Re: Lay Visit Rob, In our earlier meeting with Lay, he seemed to want to talk about changes in the corporate "visions" over time. He also seemed interested in exploring the idea of corporate culture. Both of these themes can be included under the broad heading of strategic vision and the creation of a corporate culture capable of pursuing that vision. Specific questions are more difficult to imagine at this point. I think we should rely on the general approach taken with Skilling and Sutton: How were the various "visions" that have guided Enron's development been defined? How were they achieved? What do you see as the key issues that should be addressed in our history? Who are the crucial "cluster" of people to interview for each issue? How do you see this project being used within Enron? I'll bet we can have a very productive hour with these general questions. - Joe Pratt
