Again to the Revolution of Telepresence
/One cannot over emphasize the impact telepresence is and will continue to have on organizational and individual capabilities for numerous reasons but particularly this. The result will be continued increasing applications of revolutionizing methods of global orchestration at even greater speeds. Translation: more rapid change than ever before.
The recent NYT news article on the wider application of tools that deliver unparalleled interaction with global participants via high definition video, Voip, and document and application sharing reflects how these are quickly becoming more widely adopted.

Long the purview of multi-national organizations with deep pockets, the spread of these solutions to the mainstream will profoundly affect the business, non-profits, NGO's and individuals world wide while providing the opportunity to improve or save lives through the delivery of medical treatments, reduction in the degree of business travel that impacts families adversely and the conservation of valuable global resources. Take a peak at this Polycom demonstration of the profound implications these revolutionary technologies are having.
