Enron Mail |
Billy,
In light of the recent misstep with MIT, do you think we should try to send a senior Enron rep to the Sloan Leadership conference on October 27? Vince Kaminski is probably the right person to attend. Regards, Tom -----Original Message----- From: "Keyur Patel" <keyur@MIT.EDU<@ENRON [mailto:IMCEANOTES-+22Keyur+20Patel+22+20+3Ckeyur+40MIT+2EEDU+3E+40ENRON@ENRON.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 8:37 PM To: Gros, Thomas D. Subject: Sloan Leadership Conference Tom, Before I left my summer internship at Enron, I sent you a message regarding the Sloan Leadership Conference (see below). The conference will be held on Saturday, October 27. We would like to invite you to be on the Finance panel. I can also work with you if you want to be involved in other aspects of the conference. It would be great if you could offer the conference participants your unique experiences in bringing new products to market. I think you have the perfect background for this panel, and I am very excited about the opportunity to have you on the panel. I have included the thesis statement for the finance panel below. Also, I have not heard back from HR about their interest in the conference. I think this is a great opportunity for Enron to spread its message to a targeted audience. The sponsor memo is attached. If you would be interested in sponsoring this conference, please let me know as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I will call you as soon as I can concerning the conference. Thanks, Keyur Patel MIT Sloan MBA Class of 2002 617-290-3703 (Mobile) keyur@mit.edu (E-Mail) FINANCE PANEL THESIS The finance panel will focus on innovation in finance, specifically in accessing capital, valuation techniques, new product development, and product distribution. From a corporate perspective the focus will be on innovative ways of both accessing capital, given the recent scarcity in the traditional equities market, and valuing businesses. From a financial institutions perspective the focus will be on new products and new distribution channels. Beyond addressing the issues faced by their companies, the panelists can/should also discuss specific leadership strategies financial managers need to employ in difficult times. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Keyur Patel" <KPatel2@enron.com< To: "William R Lemmons" <William_R_Lemmons@enron.com< CC: "Thomas D Gros" <Thomas_D_Gros.EnronXGate@enron.com<, "Traci Warner" <Traci_Warner.enronXgate@enron.com< Subject: MIT Sloan Opportunities Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 16:39:32 -0500 Mr. Lemmons, When we met with you regarding the Enron/MIT Sloan relationship, you mentioned that Enron was interested in narrowing the search for talent by targeting specific programs at schools that are more in line with Enron's goals. We would like to present 2 programs at MIT Sloan that would be ideal for Enron and will produce a more effective recruiting approach. The two programs are the MIT Sloan Leadership Conference (which will feature a "Finance and Innovation" panel) and the brand new Energy & Environmental Finance Club. MIT SLOAN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (See attached file: Sponsor_Memo.doc)(Sponsor Memo is Attached) The conference is a student-led initiative that has drawn successful leaders from various industries around the world. We recognize that leadership is not something that can be taught in the course of one day. However, we hope to draw upon the practical experiences of some of today's most recognized leaders to help guide us toward our own personal leadership styles, and to educate us about the kinds of issues that we may face as leaders ourselves in the future. This year's Conference, "Critical Choices: Defining Moments of Leadership", addresses the difficult decisions that leaders face in an evolving environment, and the development of organizational leadership to successfully manage these decisions. The conference will feature Ben Zander, the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic. He performs around the world, teaches at the New England Conservatory, and speaks to corporations and other organizations on leadership. Furthermore, several panels focusing on leadership in specific industries will be held. The finance panel will focus on "Finance and Innovation", and will discuss the leadership challenges of bringing innovation to an industry that has been relatively status quo. - Sponsor_Memo.doc
