Recent global events have completely changed the way we view and do business-especially meetings. For some organizations, this adjustment was a welcomed change. For others, it is a painful nightmare that still hasn’t ended. Living and leading through a global pandemic has taught us all a few things, including how to use technology to meet virtually. For many boards, virtual meetings will continue to be the norm; in fact, some may choose not to meet in person again as a matter of preference, efficiency, and cost savings. Whether you have already made that decision or are weighing the pros and cons of meeting online versus in person, Virtually There provides insights and practical tips on how to make the most of these important online gatherings.
