To Hell with Volcanoes (Flight Delays, Transport Strikes, etc, etc)!

Global organisations are forced to look again at the pro's and con's of face-to-face meetings. Incentives favoring virtual collaboration include travel uncertainties, payroll costs, travel costs and personal safety. Volcanoes and violent weather conditions add to the mix!

GPi's Virtual Collaboration Guidelines (VCGs) offers a self-generated audit of the pro's and con's in hard data. Go to:  http://www.gpipartner.com/vcg/
