Dear Jeff,

Congratulations to you and your colleagues for initiating a workshop on...

...scheduled for June 11-12, later this year, as explained in your letter on March 1, 2002.

This is a big step in the right direction of introducing a new work role for adding intelligence to management. The workshop can be a catalyst for further efforts in the educational arena, as you proposed last year in a letter on September 26, 2001. When time permits, you might comment on opportunities for advancing beyond information technology to a culture of knowledge, discussed in a meeting at Stanford on December 19, 2001, which was facilitated by Doug Engelbart.

Good luck with the workshop. Look forward to the report in June or July showing results of the workshop.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
