The Connected Culture: Unleashing the Power of Video in Everyday Collaboration
Title : The Connected Culture: Unleashing the Power of Video in Everyday Collaboration
Edition :

Preface
As business becomes more globalized and distributed, are we sacrificing connectedness? Today’s mobile, internet and cloud technologies enable collaboration across time zones, continents, travel schedules and even corporate boundaries. But are we communicating as effectively as possible? Emails, IMs, cloud-enabled file sharing and teleconferencing allow us to transcend space and time, but is a loss of face-to-face interaction sacrificing the benefits of intimacy, understanding and interpersonal connection?
Humans are profoundly visual creatures. Establishing rapport, trust and genuine understanding requires visual cues. Learning is further enhanced by imagery. This is long understood; and indeed, video conferencing and accompanying tools have been around for some time. But only now, thanks to vast improvements in cost and quality, is the solutions set achieving its true promise.
Today, leaders are harnessing video conferencing to enhance productivity and quality of communication while driving agility and the performance of teams. In fact, in certain industries, like healthcare and education, these tools could even be called revolutionary.
This is not to say there are no inhibitors. Cultural inertia can be part of the problem, as is lack of interoperability with other collaborative tools. Another likely challenge is the proliferation of different video conferencing solutions within the same organization. A lack of a standard solution, survey respondents and interviewees indicate, increases friction in usage, leading to quality issues and steeply diminished value.
As with any new process or tool, companies will need to exercise a degree of change management in order to access the full measure of performance improvements that can be achieved with the right video conferencing solution.
But the good news is that CEOs and other senior leaders are among the most visible champions in this new era of communications. As such, while adoption rates are already significant, we have arrived at a point where video calling is fast becoming the default standard for group and one-on-one communications with both internal teams and external stakeholders
