Increase web meeting participation with new white paper

Glen Rock, N.J.—May 14, 2009 A new white paper—How to dramatically improve web meetings: 10 ways to increase participation and productivity—shows you how to turn your web meetings into two-way conversations that engage participants and achieve your objectives.

The main problem with web meetings is that people don't take into account the unique dynamics of the virtual environment. As a result, web meetings are often dull and unproductive.

"If you approach web meetings the same way you do face-to-face, you're going to be disappointed with the outcome," says Alison Davis, company founder and employee communication expert. "This paper shows you how to tackle the distinct challenges of going virtual."

The informative white paper offers advice on how to:

• Keep meetings on track by establishing clear outcomes
• Use PowerPoint® more effectively
• Conduct virtual brainstorming sessions
• Get participant feedback through web chat and polling

The paper also includes a virtual meeting face-off between talk show host Oprah Winfrey and U.S. President Barack Obama to see how their approaches stack up against best practices.
