Remote Meetings

After days of staying up until past midnight working on our consulting project, my team conducted our remote meeting by holding a conference call. We had already been using Google Docs throughout the semester for all of our group work, so it was very convenient to be able to access all of our materials while on the call. Conference calls are great. They can be easily accessed and can be arranged at a moments notice. I think that the most important aspect of any conference call is to have a designated leader of the call who is able to guide the conversation to hit the desired points. I use conference calls frequently for my work and there are many times where calls are completely unproductive because there is no clear direction and no designated leader to ensure that the call will be productive. Fortunately, our conference call for our project actually was productive.
