You are absolutely right. Tim Ferris actually has great ideas on how to work remotely and maximize your time in his new book “4 hour work week”. Interesting read if you are so inclined. Great post.

The second best thing to meeting in person is creating a virtual experience that mimics the dynamics of teamwork and a solution that is built upon the core aspects of dispersed teams. With Collanos Workplace, our free cross-platform solution, we are able to use our rich client application to allow ad hocs to form and work jointly without IT support and server set ups. Dead-easy-to-use is our guiding principal and the only guaranteed way to address the weakest link in a team.

With all due respect to hosted solutions such as Basecamp, our P2P based rich client is truly team-friendly and as soon as we will make available our hosted solution, users will have the best of both (rich and thin clients) worlds.
Give us a go and be sure to send us your feedback.

I agree with about everything that you say. I always would rather a face to face one in a while and once during a project if at all possible, but with the modern work schedule it is not always possible. Thanks for the great post.

Thanks, Amyloo! I think the hybrid situation–where some people work at a main office and some people “telecommute” is difficult to make work. That would be a great topic for the future. Seems to me the very word “telecommute” includes the idea that you’re trying to get to the office but in a sort of lesser way.

That’s funny that there’s a requirement for the telecommuter not to show she enjoys doing it! There’s probably a bunch of posturing required from the telecommuter, none of which actually contributes to high productivity.

@Rick: you bring up a ton of good questions and make great points… we will need to keep talking about this.

Nice one, Anne. V. well thought out and written as usual for you. On the first point, a thoroughgoing commitment, I’d love to see more on this in a future article, including more about what that means in the philosophical arena.

And, probably a separate piece, what it means for management to support occasional telecommuting. I’ve recently been getting a funny feeling that there is an unspoken agenda going on in these arrangements. For example, sometimes there’s a requirement for the telecommuter not to show that she enjoys doing it!
