As a busy communications professional you surely have a lot on your plate and don’t want to be bothered by yet another communications tool. I know how that feels, believe me. But, and there is a big BUT, I was able to set up an easy process that became so automatic that I didn’t even have to think twice about it. So why not opt for something that will make your life so much easier?
Building my own webcast team
Step by step I convinced our IT guys, asked the men and women from the internal services/facility department to help me with our employee information events and listened to the streaming and video specialists from Solutionpark as they tried to explain what they needed from our side. It’s always good to listen to your external partners, especially if they are so helpful and reliable. Honestly, it all developed into a great collaboration and team work all together. We learned from each other and with increasing experience everyone fell into their role and knew exactly what to do. All the while I expanded my famous binder listing contacts and processes for the various scenarios, adding new possibilities of application as we went along. I will be sharing those insights with you as we go along. I also used my network of company contacts in all the local offices around the world to keep them informed and involved in our webcast developments. It became a ritual of sending out the e-mail announcing the next webcast and receiving people’s comments on how they were looking forward to watching it.
I truly enjoyed working with ‘my personal webcast team’ and we all shared in the success of making ithappen every time no matter what. Despite a little adrenalin rush before the start of every recording or even the live transmission, I was always excited to work with the team and have the people from Solutionpark come by with all their sophisticated equipment. Actually, that was the best part of it all. Who doesn’t like new gadgets, ha?! It seemed as though they brought a new piece of hardware every time. They use some really cool stuff. Plus, the technological advances simply make it easier to get the job done.
