"There's a reason consultants fly all over the place to meet face to
face with clients or why distant teams occasionally still meet face to
face: because nothing yet technologically is as high-bandwidth as
being together in person"
I am presenting in front of stakeholders tomorrow. I could easily
present all the wireframes, visual designs, stories in the format of
an open narrative via WebEx and conference call - but I would miss the
most important thing - the looks on stakeholder's faces as they are
walked through the first iteration of the application - I can see
frustration, confusion, cluelessness as well as excitement and elation
- Without having videocams trained on every person and displayed in 10
different cam windows on my desktop could I get that most important of
feedback. Same thing with design critiques - I would not say it HAS to
be face to face - I just dont know if anything is available that
brings about that level of intimacy which is important.
