We are in the 21st century and in 2013. Technology has revised ways meetings or conferences should be held. Its time your organization got itself into the technology triangle as it stands to give it leverage over what is happening all around. Here’s what used to be done and what is done now.
Before
Use of only hard copy (so heady and cold) minus visuals and discussing every plausible idea verbally plus the use of markers or highlighters for illustrations.
Monologue thinking where only people in the boardroom decide for the mass out there. But come to think of it why should just a few numbers of people just decide on an issue or a product when they may not end up using the product themselves
Waiting each member of the board to think together and take decisions for both internal and external publics of the organization. Consumers and staff alike. Waiting for every member to be a part of the meeting.
After
With the fusion of technology color is now added to presentations. Sample Videos are now used to aid in pitching what you intend doing instead of the all round verbal pitching. Who needs a marker or highlighter now when the projector with all its visuals plus animations project ideas or intents better? The use of visuals or animations has come to replace the boredom of hard copy where everything is in black and white.
“Multilogue thinking” that how I call wait gathering opinions of people especially consumers who are the real time users of the product or service before or right at the meeting via social media. For certain candid answers needed directly from consumers themselves you could easily type out the problem or issue at hand on the organization’s web page or social media sites for quick response right at the meeting .Using the computers or tabs for easy access to other sites or platforms on the same issue. After everything is said and done the consumers are the real users of the product or service.
Easy access to other member’s feedback during meetings via social media or video conferencing.
Which century is your organization still in?
