Subject: Invitation to Focus Groups
Dear Colleague
As you are likely aware Malcolm and the EP Leadership team are engaged in ongoing discussions about how we can improve organizational performance specifically in support of achieving the EP Roadmap objectives. To help broaden the discussion we would like to engage key leaders in the organization in this dialog. Therefore Malcolm has asked EPLF members to hold engagement sessions in their respective regions to surface specific ideas about how we could better ensure our success.
You will be invited to attend a ninety minute focus group discussions we are convening next week to address the specific questions: "What is getting in the way of our achieving the EP Roadmap objectives and specifically what do we as leaders in EP need to do to clear the way to achieving these goals?"
The material is being gathered both for the knowledge of the EP Leadership team who will be meeting offsite early December and as input to a design team that Malcolm has commissioned led by Raoul Restucci which will be framing up the next EPLF session now slated for February, 2006.
