I like coming over knowing that my calendar will be pretty full. Dinner sounds great, too. I am having dinner with Beth Apollo on Monday evening to talk more about her assignment. I received a note from Fernley asking about dinner on Thursday evening also. Hope that the New York trip was worthwhile and that the trip back was smooth. --Sally Mike Jordan 01/11/2001 01:57 PM To: Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Re: Topics for next week see comments in red - rushed - so please excuse my typos Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp. From: Sally Beck 11/01/2001 17:57 To: Mike Jordan/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Topics for next week Well, I didn't get this out to you before I left the office last night. I was still pouring over bonus info until 9:30, and decided to call it quits at that point. Here are some of the things that I would like to do next week: review your action plan to move the close and officialization of London books to same day, - certainly want to review this in detail with you - the issue being that we may not in the short/medium term be able to change systems infrastructure to run same day - but with a combination of process and tactical systems enhancements we may be able to deliver no action p&l, new activity p&l and position signoff on trade date with 'officialisation' of books on T+1 in time for RAC VAR explain and limit monitoring process Also I would like to go through our credit difficulties with you and Ted at same time - more for information on this - because when we 'solve' market risk reporting issues we will face big push to 'clean' credit exposure reporting process - Office of Chair is very insistent on this to replicate, if appropriate, an Operational Risk information session for London counterparts (you and I can review early in the week what we are doing here in Houston today and modify the info for Europe) Would defintely welcome this - I can walk through the European MO issues trying to identify key operational risk themes - top of my list is Metals I would like to spend some time on Metals with you - hence the lunch on Wednesday with Andy Cornfield and Howard Carter the two controllers for Metals ( Brokerage and Merchanting ) - the starting place for this will be the presentation I gave to Rick Causey in early December. discuss the Doorstep process with you and, if you deem appropriate, your business controllers in the London office who will participate in Doorstep reviews this year (clear up and questions and get your input on how to continually improve the process), Would like to brainstorm the linkage between control standards reporting, self assessment of Op risk and doorstep - this can be done initially in a small group but additionally I believe the business controllers would welcome some more background of why Rick,Rick and yourself need the process to be successful - I think they understand ( I have fully promoted it ) but your 'asides' explaining the weight Jeff assigns to it are very powerful motivators discuss with Mark Pickering the technology dependencies of the London office related to speeding up London's information for the corporate DPR As explained above - additionally I would like to walk you through the implementation of our change management structure which attempts to cross prioritise all IT development efforts - a meeting with Steve Whitaker, Mark and Fernley on this would be useful do some planning with you for the February 12 & 13 ASE - certainly in calendar and signed off by the executive committee of one ( my wife !!! ) discuss the feasibility of utilizing our operational pricing model in London - can you let me know some more of this - I am uncertain of it discuss your ideas and thoughts on CommodityLogic and other ideas around potential commercialization of mid and back office services - The below is a section of an objective I am asking my settlements director to follow - I would like to expand on these and other thoughts - particularly the absence of vision/strategy documentation for CL Lead on all CommodityLogic initiatives associated with Settlements ( note this is my definition of what CL should be doing ) including :- Changing Market practices create cashflow messaging within each transaction create payment advice notification for each transaction at inception and liquidation re-evaluate operational cost structure associated with any possible changes to terms of trade Module/Application developments Synergy from internal process changes ( pulling Settlements and Documentation together ) elimination of paper/fax confirmation processes if we can utilise electronic messaging of cashflow details within transactions and electronic messaging of payment advices at inception ( based upon planned trade settlement ) and at liquidation ( based upon actual trade settlement ) In addition, I would like to meet with anyone in the London office that you think would be beneficial. Through Nicki Scott, I understand that Michael Brown would like to meet with me so we are setting that up. I will also spend some time with Beth Apollo and Ted Murphy while I am there. And I plan to meet with Fernley as well. Any other suggestions on topics or people to see? Can I suggest we also cover Remote offices with Naomi Connell The ledger control process - similarities and differences with Houston Static reference control processes - ( Global Counterparties/Companies/Contracts/Facilities etc ) Themes from our business process reengineering reviews prior to Christmas - similar to bottom up Op risk assessment A gap analysis for the risk management team - explaining the 'legacy' work that James New has been leading on Our plans for EAS in Europe I shall call to discuss / prioritise and then I can instruct Fiona to organise meetings Mike I think that we have lunch already on the calendar for Wednesday - as above but would you also be available for dinner with the controllers and Fernley ?
