    explain at the outset that you will have to take the call, and apologize inadvance. Otherwise, apologize and retire somewhere private to make or

    employees attend through

    their computer without

    physically traveling to the

    meeting.

  • 7/30/2019 VP Mobile Entrepreneur

    26/51

    VIRTUAL MEETING PROTOCOL

    The first thing to understand when conducting a virtual

    meeting is that it is not really a virtual meeting at all.

    The meeting is real, the activity is real, and the importance of

    the results are real.

    This is a real meeting that happens to take place in a virtual

    environment.

    Consider the processes that take place:

    o Before meeting

    o During the meeting

    o After the meeting.

  • 7/30/2019 VP Mobile Entrepreneur

    27/51

    BEFORE THE MEETING:

    The place to conduct the meeting.

    1. Technology? Does everyone have the necessary resources?

    2. Who are the participants and how will they be invited?

    3. What time will the meeting be, and are there participants in different time

    zones?

    4. What language will be spoken during the meeting?

    5. Do you make and answer questions duringthe meeting, orafter?

    6. What materials will participants need? How will they be sent? Email?

    Fax? Overnight Delivery?

  • 7/30/2019 VP Mobile Entrepreneur

    28/51

    DURING THE MEETING

    1. Try to call or arrive a few minutes early.

    2. Introduce all participants.

    3. Follow the agenda.

    4. Be accurate, use examples to ensure understanding, recap and

    summarize.

    5. Refer to the slide number or page number if you are using a

    presentation previously sent.6. Direct questions to each participant instead of saying "Are there

    any questions?"

    7. Listen to the views of all participants.

    29/51

    AFTER THE MEETING

    1. The meeting does not end as soon as participants hang up or log off.

    2. Sending notes shortly after the meeting helps ensure that everyone

    has the same understanding of what happened and what will happen

    next.

    3. Well documented decisions and action items with clear deadlines

    help people understand how to proceed once they have been

    disconnected or dismissed from the meeting.

    4. Considering that people may be located in different time zones, the

    more you can help people to be successful, the more willing and

    able they will be to attend future meetings and take on additional

    responsibilities.
