Why are you leaving the office with today's advanced communication methods such as email, video conferencing, Skype, chat and instant messaging? Instant messaging and easy collaboration are within easy reach. But through remote communication, there is often something missing - the quality of the relationship. Are the people you are talking about focusing on what you are discussing? Do they work from home, dog distractions, parcel delivery and lunch can hinder their concentration? Even if they are sitting in their office, they are multitasking... check emails... complete the survey... or fill out the expense report while "participating" in the call?
In contrast, when energetic people face each other, they can produce incredible energy and synergies. While video conferencing and online conferencing solution providers will convince you, you can make a huge difference when you really spend time with others. The most important of these is true innovation.
Ask yourself: What do you get when you gather a group of smart, passionate and insightful people in a room? Answer: Ideas. Brainstorming. Real cooperation. problem solved. innovation. What makes the magic happen? The key factor is to bring people together. They focus, focus, connect, interact, in short, participate.
Real world example
There is ample evidence that face-to-face meetings are indeed effective. Just watch the Bird Bird meeting at any major meeting. Although they are usually arranged late at night, most of the participants were exhausted but unexpectedly participated in these activities. The room is full of passionate people, they will stay for a few hours, exchange ideas, brainstorm, perhaps, come up with a good idea.
Davos is another evidence. Ask yourself why thousands of leaders from industry, government, media, international organizations and other groups traveled from nearly 100 countries to a small village in the Alps. Don't you think they can participate in a conference call or video conference? The answer is that people must not only cooperate but also innovate. This is a contact campaign - there aren't many web conferences that can be replaced.
The intersection of collaboration and innovation
Cooperation involves sharing ideas, keeping open minds, creativity and making concessions. On the other hand, innovation is more than just creativity. It looks at processes and models, streamlines processes and builds new business models.
If we can draw innovation and collaboration in the chart, we can better see the path of each path itself, resulting in the intersection of what they can do when they encounter it. Some issues, such as negotiating strategic relationships, can only be resolved through cooperation. Others, such as proposing the latest widgets, only need to increase innovation. But there are many problems - including some of the world's toughest problems - that can only be solved through a combination of collaboration and innovation, and at the intersection of collaboration and innovation, we find the highest performance and true solution work for all involved.
Think about this intersection, like a face-to-face meeting like a feathery meeting. A welcoming, bright, motivated person will definitely cooperate with a room full of enthusiasm. They will exchange ideas and make ideas and ideas through a lot of concessions because they work equally and want to solve problems. They will also innovate, research processes, bottlenecks and new ways to solve problems. When collaboration and innovation cross, there are many things that can happen.
Why face-to-face meetings are effective
As problems become more complex and difficult to resolve, old methods are no longer effective. Need a real breakthrough, they need in-depth cooperation and originality. In fact, this is where the face-to-face meeting really shines – at the intersection of collaboration and innovation. This is where special sparks occur, allowing a group of people to find great solutions to the most difficult problems. It is definitely a "contact movement" – it requires people to actively participate with full attention and without interruption, distance or time interference.
Key factors for effective problem solving include:
from
• Focus on a small range of intelligence
from
• Encourage informal interaction
from
• Promote divergence and fusion thinking
from
• Reduce cultural barriers between people with different backgrounds and socioeconomic levels
from
• Avoid distractions
from
• Eliminate the inconvenience of geography and time zones
These elements enable the team to solve problems, achieve consistency, and propose possible solutions. This is not possible through web conferencing, video chat or other less direct, less personal and less familiar methods. It's all about people, fully engaging in discussions, bringing the best solutions to problems and reaching destructive solutions.
Go in and mix!
Don't shy away from face-to-face meetings. Create opportunities for your team, user group, customer base or partner to participate in innovative contact campaigns. Think about the benefits that can be achieved by organizing face-to-face meetings. Imagine a potential breakthrough. Think about the power it will bring to the individuals, groups and companies involved.
Create opportunities and watch your attendees take advantage of the power of innovation.
