ABSTRACT

For certain situations, a physical performance hub mounted in a static location simply isn’t a workable option. This is particularly relevant where we have remote teams or team members dispersed across multiple locations. The expectation of gathering all parties together on a set frequency in one location may not be workable or cost effective. In such a situation, a virtual performance hub may be the best solution. There are some great software applications available that can aid the facilitation of a virtual meeting. Applications, such as MS® Live Meeting, MS® Office Communicator, and Skype™ are simple aids that can work effectively in enabling a dispersed team to share the same visual at the same time. Alternatively, a conference call with a file distribution prior to the call can work, though this does inevitably have its limitations as you can never be sure everyone is on the same page or, indeed, have the required visual in front of them. You can pretty much guarantee that there will be someone who denies receiving the document or is struggling to retrieve it.
