Dear Ken,
I hope you are faring okay in these difficult times. At Aspen ISIB, our work goes forward, albeit with much discussion about how to stay relevant and to understand the connections between social impact management and aftermath of September 11th. I have a request of you. An example of work that we think has great relevance is a by-invitation only meeting of about 30 experts in Executive Education--as practiced by corporations, by universitites and professional service firms--that we are convening near Washington D.C in November. It's a two day working session, and the title is "Balanced Leadership During Turbulence and Crisis: The Role of Executive Education." We had planned to focus more specifically on the economic downturn, but for obvious reasons have broadened the scope of the discussions. This work, like the Aspen Business Leaders Dialogue, builds on two meetings that have preceded this one, and we benefit from including a mix of "returnees" and new participants. I am writing to find out if there is someone in your firm that would make a contributuion to the discussion and would like the opportunity to reflect on best practice and innovation in executive education and training as we consider the need for extraordinary leaders in our global enterprises. The meeting is about the balancing act--profits vs. principles, short vs. long-term needs, and listening to multiple stakeholders. If you have any ideas for us, please let me know. Nancy McGaw, who runs the meeting, or I will follow up. A one-page description is attached for your convenience. The Co-Chairs of the meeting are Bill Wiggenhorn, until recently President of Motorola University, now of Providian Financial, and Gary Jusela, Chief Learning Officer at Lucent Technologies. Best regards, Judy Judith Samuelson Executive Director Aspen ISIB 271 Madison Avenue Suite 606 New York, New York 10016 tel: 212/895-8001; fax: 212/895-8012 JSamuelson@aspeninstitute.org - conference objectives - final2.doc
