NoMad Meetings

Communication in the
New Economy

If you thought 'web based meetings' was only hype, then think again. Remaining agile and engaged with clients and staff is key to riding through the storm.

With the global markets still in turmoil, the increased costs of travel and the price of fuel, effective use of the internet and web-based ways of communicating are becoming critical success factors for survival, continued productivity and key drivers for growth.

The wave of social networking sites and web-based communication that have flooded the internet is just the beginning. And not only to satisfy the thirst of generation X and Y in the virtual community networks like Facebook, MySpace and Second Life.

Web-based communication has crashed its way into the business community who are using the web to communicate and collaborate with their peers, clients, staff, uncover employee talent and leadership,and seek expertise and partnerships from around the world. While email has been around since the 80s, there is a new set of skills and knowledge required to effectively use the available distance communication tools, including the phone.

Many organisations have sophisticated collaboration tools - videoconferencing, collaborative intranets (eg SharePoint), phone conferencing, corporate social networking such as Yammer,
Effective use of the telephone and internet-connected computers for conference calling and collaboration is becoming one of the key tactics for modern organisations and project teams. Failure to effectively use these tools reduces the ability to be competitive, retain staff and remain agile during uncertain times. Maintaining engagement with clients, suppliers and staff is key to riding out the storm.

An increasing number of companies are embracing these alternative cost-effective web-based communications (aka: virtual meetings, e-classrooms, webinars, videoconferencing, teleworkshops, online communications). There are a dozen new applications and tools being released each week to enable us to communicate, collaborate and co-operate at a distance. The clincher is having the will and the skill to choose and use the tools effectively.

NoMad Meetings offers you your chance to be confidently part of this virtual, engaging, no-travel-cost world of communication in a way that is easy and natural.
