I think you’re describing the type of meetings that should be e-mails :)
For creative activities like design sessions where engagement is high, being co-located in the same room is essential. Virtual product design often ends up as design-by-committee after the team grows beyond the size of close personal relationships.
- atwebb 7y agoI half-agree, I love online meetings for visualizations (not strict color design) because everyone is seeing the same thing on their screen and not a whiteboard or presentation. There's more engagement and most tools allow for easy sharing and markup as well as video recording and transcribing. Some sessions are easier in person absolutely but there are not plentiful enough to consider requiring butts in seats everyday.
- cpeterso 7y agoI spend a lot of time in meetings, as both host/facilitator and guest, and work remotely 99% of the time. I highly recommend the book "The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance" [1] ("One of the top business books everybody will be reading in 2019" — Business Insider) or, for a quick summary, the author's webinar "The Surprising Science of Meetings: Evidence-Based Insights Leaders Need to Gain a Competitive Advantage" [2].
