Video Conferencing for Management Teams – The New In-Person Meeting

Eyjagjallajokull (the Iceland volcano) has caused a major disruption with worldwide business meetings. Management teams have been scrambling to find flights which go around the volcanic ash cloud in order to get to their scheduled meetings. This frantic searching has wreaked havoc for operational support teams all over the world!

We need solutions for potential missed meetings that can be implemented at a moment’s notice. There are a ton of online companies that offer video conferencing services. Services such as GoToMeeting and WebEx allow you to set up and conduct last minute ‘in-person’ meetings simply and easily.
 Most laptops these days are manufactured with a built in web cam allowing for you to video conference anywhere. Gone are the days when not being able to fly to the meeting location means that you will simply not be able to meet and possibly lose a business deal or that venture funding.
