How a Change of Scene Changes Your Team's Conversation

How fresh air can lead to fresh thinking and why that's important if you're to reframe your ideas about today's challenges.

The Importance of Face-to-Face Communication in Business

Dialogue and conversation are integral to every business. Despite the wave of new apps and technologies that offer better business processes at a click of a button, a fundamental element to any successful business is still face-to-face communication.

Innovation, strategy, creation, and implementation are all human-centred processes that rely on people talking to each other.

As Steve Jobs said, “There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions.”

And with flexible hours, the increase in time spent in front of screens, and the demands of city life, it's never been more important to get teams communicating and working at their best.

With workplace relationships being so very important, more and more organisations are becoming increasingly conscious of the importance of team dynamics, and are taking steps to improve company culture to create the conditions for better conversations.
