Beyond Virtual Meetings

Digital tools for higher performing teams and organizations

"A book is something more than a book, it's shared knowledge in the shape of an object that you can keep and treasure."

While the world offers countless ways to collaborate remotely, this book serves as a practical and insightful guide to doing so with maximum effectiveness.

I was fortunate to connect with four exceptional digital collaboration experts and software innovators—Elise Keith, Ilkka Mäkitalo, Jeremy Lu, and Kelvin McGrath—each of whom has generously contributed a dedicated chapter.

Even more serendipitous was finding a kindred spirit in the art and science of meetings—Martin Duffy, a fellow consultant and PhD graduate. His expertise and collaboration were instrumental in bringing this book to life.

Finally, I am honoured to include a guest preface by Maarten Vanneste, the visionary behind Meeting Architecture and a continual source of inspiration for this book series.

This book caters equally for any of these 3 groups of readers, albeit with different levels of relevance and importance:
  • If you are a meeting professional, you should definitely read it as your clients will perceive you as a source of improvement in their meetings and you might want to learn more about these 4 tools to enrich your professional offer.
  • If you are an executive or team leader you may find some of these tools too advanced for your current needs or maybe not. The latter would be the case if your company is already in an advanced digital stage and doing business in a heavily competing environment. These tools can provide you with a sustainable advantage in the way your company runs meetings.
  • Finally, if you are a learner or influencer, you may find that AI-powered technology is going to make serious inroads in the world of adult learning and group facilitation, and you might as well be conscious of their impact by reading this book.
