Improving the Communication of a Geographically Dispersed Team
Pat Medvick and Steve Smith

Is the effectiveness of the communication of your geographically distributed team measured by the frequency of its conference calls? Too many distributed teams suffer from ineffective communication and conference calls only exacerbate the problem. In Pat and Steve's experience, the biggest value of the typical conference call is the opportunity to do email and surf the web.

Join a group of people who want to experience and explore the communication problems that a member of a geographically distributed team encounter everyday. Discover how you can help your team communicate and collaborate better.

Learning Objectives
- Explain the importance of face-to-face communication
- Construct the context for communication
- Analyze methods for processing a conference call
