Less than 20 years ago meetings had to be scheduled way ahead of time to ensure everyone was present at the same place. Now, due to globalization and technological developments, virtual meetings and accessibility have made Virtual Team more popular in nationwide and international businesses. This way of working together has become a lot more efficient because people do not need to travel to other cities or countries to work on a project. It also decreases the overall costs for companies and bussineses. Another advantage is that teams of people can be formed despite large distances between its members. Distance does not become an obstacle for getting the adequate member. However, motivating people to work over long distance becomes more of a challenge. Team leaders have to be personal and being a good leader is more of a hassle. In my opninion, personal interaction is very important in working in a team.
I found a fasinating video on youtube. Cisco is having a Virtual Company Meeting.
Where is the technological trend going? Where are meetings going to be held in the future?
