Virtual Teams, a speciality of todays global economy;-)
Have you been part of such already? What was your feeling?
What should be different, so you feel really relaxed and can
work in a flow manner?
Even though everybody is talking about the global economy,
this is mostly done in terms of producing something at the far
opposite side of the globe for a cheaper price, then redistribute
this back with logistics costs (currenty going towards zero, despite
the price and scarceness of fossil fuel supplies).
Wouldn't it be a choice idea (actually we can make the choice happen;-)) to work in a different
style? How about switching the unions' demand for higher wages into something like providing
means to earn some money besides your standards 9-5-job? Could be even worth while for the production worker - they are pretty smart, just ask them and you will realize that pretty fast;-))
Just a few new ideas around the Knowledge Worker 2.0.
Cheers, Ralf

Hi, Ralf. I have rarely seen a client in my (almost) 9 years in business, even though I have worked with people in Europe, Asia, and the Americas; almost all of my work has been done remotely. At the risk of inappropriate self-promotion, I wrote about it a bit last year in Finding a consultant - remotely. There's even a tie-in to lean.
Just have made a pretty unsustainable experience:
14-hours of travel for
a
1-hour interview (with two persons, one of which came a 4-hour travelling distance).
How can we overcome the traditional thinking that we have to meet in person over large distances? How to keep the personal touch in remote working with your client?
