If I were to interact face-to-face I might take more initiative. For this simulation I mostly waited until a group member made a suggestion then either agreed or offered an alternative. Face-to-face interactions are, to me, much more motivating and less isolated/lonely ensuring greater productivity. Also, I imagine projects would be better controlled and commanded, less deviation or conflict of opinion and, if such problems were to occur, face-to-face interactions might promote a speedy resolution. Finding a solution would probably be done in the same way with each member conducting their own individual research, then relaying their findings in an open discussion. However, I have no industry experience so I could be wrong and telecommunication/telework is better. It is definitely the direction companies are going, but do they really make the company more agile? I think, no matter the interacting mode, it all boils down to a person’s working discipline and I tend to be more focused interacting with someone in the flesh rather than virtually.
