Remote Meeting

OBG Consulting ROCKS at remote meetings.

Last Friday, we used freeconferencecall.com to have a conference call in order to hash out some items for our consulting project.

What we found was that we needed to set up some ground rules before the call.  For example: muting your phone while you are not talking, enunciating, and having a rough agenda.  As we agreed to and followed these rules, we found that the meeting was highly productive and organic.  There was a natural flow that happened between all of us that was very similar to meeting in person.


My conclusion is that we can use technology to essentially recreate in person meetings.  Like we did, there has to be rules to help smooth out remote meetings, but at the end of the day, these meetings are viable and highly productive.


Rock on.
