A CMO's guide to staying secure on a business trip
Apr 17, 2017
To collaborate with team members who are scattered across the globe, you basically have two options:
Use communications technology, like instant messaging or video conferencing, to bridge the gap.
Use aviation technology, or other modes of transportation, to meet in a central location and collaborate in person.
So which do you choose?
Making Team Building Less Remote
By many measures, communicating in person is just flat out easier. When your team members are sitting directly across from you, it’s more straightforward to give them your full attention, pick up on nonverbal cues, and build rapport via shared experiences.
But meeting in person also comes with some major downsides: Airfare and hotel accommodations get pricey, flying back and forth between cities eats into work time, and each flight will add about 0.5 metric tons of CO2 to your carbon footprint (and hasten the apocalypse).
On the other hand, relying on the internet to communicate can be difficult. Up to 92% of communication is nonverbal, and current technology can only partially translate the spectrum of human expression.
Even video conferencing, which allows you to pick up on facial expressions and some body language (which constitutes 55% of communication), has its limitations. When the person you’re talking to is a two-inch-tall disembodied head that magically transforms into a buffering wheel every 15 seconds, deciphering facial expressions and body language can be a challenge.
But remote meetings don’t have to be that awkward. Building rapport and understanding helps fill in the communication gaps during those technologically-challenging moments. Here are to help your team kick off your next remote meeting on the same page.
