class=120390521-05092002>Although, I am not fully clear about the subject at
hand, my spontaneous reaction is that one very good way to raise awareness about
an important subject is to facilitate an OST meeting where, in this case, these
leaders would get the opportunity to meet and dialogue with people with
interest, passion and experiences in this very area. To meet and share
experiences, face to face with people who have first hand experiences is very
strong, opposed to most lectures, I think. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE
style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"></FONT>Hello!
<P>I have a question that I hope you might be able to help me <BR>with.
<P>If you could have the ear of 40 powerful business people in the world, with
<BR>the perspective of inclusivity in mind, who would you choose to talk with
<BR>them, what would you choose to have them experience?
<P>I'm helping to create an event for the top 40 executives at BP (British
<BR>Petroleum). Which is a pretty powerful group seeing they're now the 3rd
<BR>largest corporation on the globe. The purpose of the event centers around
<BR>the "price of exclusion," or what happens when you create an "other." They
<BR>realize, as a global company that moves people from country to country and
<BR>impacts local communities, it's imperative for them to make high level
<BR>policy decisions with inclusivity in mind. I give them a lot of credit for
<BR>this, and have seen them really take it to heart.
<P>I'm in the research stage right now and would love it if you'd be willing
to <BR>give your thoughts on who you think might be a good speaker, or who
should <BR>take part because their ideas are, or could be, really shaking up
the world. <BR>People who have firsthand experience in third world countries
or within an <BR>organization that is heavily facing these issues and is
working to deal with <BR>them. That kind of thing.
<P>After the top 40 experience this before the end of the year, they'll
cascade <BR>it to the next 500 and then to about 2000 middle managers over the
next <BR>couple of years. Any ideas?
<P>I want to find traditional speakers and thought leaders and definitely
<BR>alternative people and ideas that might not fit the filter of Harvard or
<BR>Oxford. Also, we're looking to find a good portion of the people from
<BR>outside the US and UK, so they experience a better world view.
<P>Thanks so much for your thoughts! I really appreciate your knowledge.
<P>Zelle
