With organizations employing all over the world attempting to travel can take a toll on the budget. The next best option is meeting remotely. Saves time, money and some effort. In order to have an effective remote meeting here are a few tips.
To give it a personal presence, if you are to lead the meeting making yourself "On Camera" is best and can encourage others to turn on their cameras to make the meeting more personable. Putting a face with the name makes a big difference.
As a leader you should be well prepared with an agenda, know your tools and have a plan B if a technical glitch happens. Not being familiar with the all the ins and outs of the virtual meeting provider could cause delays in the meeting resulting in an ineffective meeting and time waster.
Only invite those who are relevant to the project, topic or initiative. In most instances those that are not closely connected to the discussion will not join and if they do join its highly likely they are unengaged in your discussion and could be doing something more productive with their time.
