Face to face used to be the standard for collaboration--but no longer. According to a Frost & Sullivan study (2008), collaboration quality is a leading driver of high performance.
Teams that collaborate at high levels (such as in highly interactive web conference meetings) are 36% more productive than teams that collaborate at low levels (such as in a conference call or email).
Using web conference technology does not put any group into the high-collaboration level. High collaboration only results when interaction is rich, relevant, and fast.
So, if people are sitting back and watching PowerPoint presentations in your virtual team meetings--they're not only bored, but they are trapped into low performance. If you want to raise performance, leverage the interactive capability of your web conference technology (polls, annotations, VOIP, etc.) in ways that everyone is actively involved in high-value ways. Not only will your meeting achieve significantly higher results, but the people will build rapport and connections with one another that are essential to the team's success.
