In the past couple of weeks one of the talk radio shows here in town was talking about companies going to teleconferencing for meetings. One of the points that was made in it was how one of the bigger companies(I forget its name) had done a big switch to things because they felt there just was no need to fly everyone to one spot for these meetings. It actually turned out to not be a success at all for them. They discovered, in their case, that people being in the same room helped brain storming by a large amount. People were just more prone to turn and speak to the person next to them or to speak up in the middle of a conversation with others.
With that said though, it is a solution that works for some with great success. It pretty much is what we do here and we do not even go so far as to implement any fancy dancy stuff like video conferencing. On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 1:50 PM, Crow T.
