A meeting
- When you are in middle of an important meeting and the lights suddenly go off, your reaction can be positive at first.
- When it happened to me a few a months ago, I showed surprise and laughed like everyone else.
- Then, as the minutes go by, we started to think that maybe the light went out for a serious reason, which could mean having to put off the meeting or look for another place to finish it.
- In both cases, it meant that most of us won’t be able to make it to the airport in time.
- Another day here would disrupt our fixed plans.
- So we decided to postpone the meeting and hold it through video conferencing, at least for those who had a very full agenda.
- The experience turned out to be better than we thought.
- Video conferencing hadn’t been our first choice; we didn’t believe it could ever replace a meeting face to face.
- In fact, the meeting went so well that we decided to hold most meetings through video conferencing.
- From now on, we would only meet twice a year to fix and discuss the business strategy.
- Since then, things have been going smoothly and thanks to this new way of working we don’t waste time chatting but go down to business straight away, we save a lot money to the company in hotels and transport and we can enjoy more time with our families.
- The downside is that maybe we are losing that friendship we had and all the things we could tell each other informally.
