Subject:   Grand Ideas

Dear Denis,

Thanks for commenting on the tension between communication that is concise and to the point, and our old friend, clear, concise, complete.

Your Christmas card theme on grand ideas struck a cord. Continued support for Communication Metrics is greatly appreciated, along with suggestions for implementation.

The Colloquium at Stanford on the Unfinished Revolution might spawn some grand ideas. It is free of charge and can be viewed on line at a convenient time begining on January 6. One way to turn ideas into action is to ask an up and coming executive in the firm to submit a report analysing the Colloquium, or any presentation, e.g., a seminar, a meeting, a class at Stanford, a book, article, to show alignment with organizational goals. An example is analysis of the Colloquium on December 22.

All the best to you, Sylvia and the Kwan Henmi organization.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
